ABOUT
I am a dedicated musician with over 20 years of playing experience. Well schooled in various styles, including: rock, soul, country, alt-country, odd-meter, funk, etc.
I made my living as a drummer in my 20s; gigging, touring, recording, and teaching.
I prefer to play with musicians who appreciate dynamics. I love groove-oriented, pocket playing. In most situations, a drummer should be felt not heard. These days, my ear is leaning toward singer-songwriter, alt-country, folk/americana, funky/bluesy music. As long as the music is fun and interesting!
