ABOUT

Drummer that plays musically. I was the guy who played and taught 15 instruments in school band. Drums are my passion. I listen hard and play grooves to compliment the music, not just pound out beats. Experienced on stage and in studio.

I'd like to find a funky jam band to explore and play, do some gigs, and have fun. But I'm open to other opportunities. If in Elk Grove, even better.
