ABOUT

Have played in several cover outfits in Kansas City
Most recently Rock Candy, and FARMSICKLE STICK
Waiting on Amy, BOOM
Maximus
& old original hard rock band Mi Dixie Wrecked few years ago

I am also currently playing Bluegrass and acoustic rock w Farmsickle Stick (which is everyone's side project from their other bands)

Since Farmsickle is playing out enough.....I am looking for a more creative or interesting project.

I would like to do an Original Alternative, POP, or Hard Rock group that tries to create something .but still tries to play live...with or without additional covers


I can do some background vocals while playing. I can handle 1-3 easy vocal songs and still play also. But don't expect a ton of lead singing if I'm playing.

EQUIPMENT

I have 12 Drumsets (too many at moment)
Rehearse usually 4 piece tama or pearl
Gigs--usually 4 piece Gretch Catalina Club w 2 crash, Or Tama (pictured) Rock Bag
Creative--6 piece Premier 3 rack toms, double pedal

I can play a 9 piece double bass drumkit..or 4 piece mini bop kit depending on the band/gig situation. I modify my setup to the band and situation I'm working on.

All professional Zildjian, Sabian, or Paiste Cymbals
I have 5 sets hihats and 5 rides plus many crash options.
CAD and SHURE Drum Mics
Shure SM58 Vocal MIC
Little bit of stage lighting
I also have Yamaha Power Head 8 channel PA w speakers and monitors..I can run a small 4-5 piece band for your average bar or small outdoor gigs.

I can expand or swap stuff with drumsets....
Current electronics...I have an Alesis Crimson I can gig with, though it isn't preferred as it's a midlevel kit with some dynamic issues w hihats
I also use an Alesis Sample Pro with the acoustic kits for odd sounds and percussion extras.
