Drums.ABOUT
47 year old drummer/guitarist/bassist - just moved here from Colorado - looking to join or start a riff-oriented hard rock band and/or cover band.
I can play drums, bass, or rhythm guitar...whatever is needed, but I’m primarily a drummer.
50/50 split covers and originals
We can play out if desired, but I'm just as happy jamming and recording as a hobby only. The rockstar ship of fame has sailed long ago. Much more interested in the creative process.
