ABOUT

Versatile drummer with 45 years of experience looking for professional, committed musicians to either join or form a club band, wedding band or corporate gig type of thing.
People who are serious about their quality and their goals.
Ideally, if there were the type of musicians available and audience that appreciated and supported it in this area, I would play the kind of music and artists you hear on Cool Jazz on WCLZ 98.9 on Sunday mornings - that is my favorite genre and my drumming forte'.

I am thinking of maybe a general business band - Pop/Top-40.

I have been of late strongly considering doing Country music because it is so popular.

My Favorite genres are: Jazz-Funk, Funk, African & Latin.
Styles that I play are: Dance, Jazz-Funk, Funk, R&B, Latin, Island Music, Middle Eastern, African, World Music, Pop, Soft -Rock, Top-40 & Rock.
I have an affinity for creating innovative and driving drum grooves, also bass lines, and I love for people to catch the contagious rhythms.

My musical background is playing professionally in the music industry years ago as a trap set/kit drummer, playing in:
Rock Opera Jesus Christ Superstar, Funk band 'Fiz', Top-40 Soft Rock group 'The Limit', Top-40 Holiday Inn circuit band 'Mischief' and Island Music group 'Kingston Bay Steel Band'.
Currently I play Yamaha electronic drums & hand drums: Brazilian Surdo drum, African Djembe drum, Bongos, Peruvian Cajon, African Tongue Drum & Gankogui bell.

Cheers,
