ABOUT

I've been a Drummer/Musician for over 50 years. I'm currently with a 10 Piece R&B Funk band for the last 14 years. I have many years experience with various musical situations i.e. Jazz, Top 40, Shows, Studio Work etc. I studied drums with Henry Adler of NYC and marimba with Lou Gatti also of NYC. I had road experience for about 3 years during the mid to late 70's I'm currently looking for a smooth jazz/funk situation.
