ABOUT
I'm 49, pass for late 30's. Been playing drums since I was 7. Took some time off for family & child but played out in the 90's - till 2005 with alternative / punk band, R&B classic rock, and a Jazz-Funk-R&B, plus played in the Praise band at church for a few years. Open to all styles as long as it's fun, has a good beat, danceable. I really like the 80's synth band music of early MTV. Don't drink or smoke. Play a good solid beat but I'm no Neil Pert or Tre Cool for that matter. Not into Hi-speed or thrash or loud for loud sake. Plays well with others.
