ABOUT
I've been drumming for over 15 years. I tend to lean towards more of the Hard Rock, Heavy Metal style. (Note: That that's without the consistent perpetual bass drum that never leaves a gap. I think it doesn't take talent to do that.) Before you as, yes...I do double bass, but I use it more like a "less is more". I'll blast it out where it's least expected. I'm all about what serves the song. So eventually, if a song comes around that NEEDS a big healthy dose of double bass, I'm all for it.
I'm looking for a serious band, that loves to practice and gig, in the hard rock, heavy metal area. I do not want to play for a screamo, or death metal band, but if you think you've something special, feel free to contact me. I'm more open to ideas with people who are up front. I do have recordings of songs I created with previous bands, but you would have to listen to more than a couple to get an idea of how versatile I really am.
I give nothing but 100% to any band I'm in, and I'm not looking to be just a drummer for hire. I want to create new music and have a hand in everything when it comes to the band. I feel that a band is the sum of it's parts. I'm willing to learn existing music as long as there is an grey area where I can make the song's drum part my own, whatever the song calls for.
I'm willing to travel for practice, but my family does comes first. Rest assured, if we're in a band together, I consider you family.

I've got all Tama Hardware, with Zildjian Z Custom Cymbals. My crash range is 18", 19" and 20". I've got a 20" Power Ride, 18" China, and 14" Mastersound Hi-Hats. I've multiple drumkits, so it's all about what the music requires.
