SEEKING

ABOUT

Just moved to Cali to finish my degree. I play guitar and drums although presently i only own a guitar setup. Just looking to jam mostly because i can't be dedicated to a touring band anymore. My styles are prog rock (tool..etc), southern metal, and even some soft mellow stuff. The vocals on the recordings are mine but it has been years since i've tried to scream. As far as drums i don't play double bass but i can play very technical beats. I will play some local shows if needed. My experience in bands goes back. around 12 years. I have played bass in melodic and progrock bands, played guitar in a souther metal experimental band and a 90s rock band, drums for jazz, gospel, classic rock, and industrial metal bands, and of course vocals for deathmetal bands. If you want to jam, post on Sacramento craigslist, i look there frequently too
