ABOUT

Drummer/backup vocalist seeks band or bass & guitar to play gigs. I've played mostly Rock and some metal on drums (as seen by my uploaded videos) but now looking to play Funk & old school R&B/Disco. I'm more familiar with these genres on bass but want to play more of this music that I grew up with on drums. I basically want to have a party every time I play with my band!

I like doing covers (see below) and originals.
I consider myself an intermediate drummer(started playing in 2014) and have played in about 5 bands. I've been playing bass for about 20 years so I'm used to locking in to the drums and am a fast learner.

In case it matters, I don't drink or smoke. I'm an easy going, friendly, punctual, and prepared musician. If interested feel free to contact me at electricsnail29 and put "Bandmix" in subject line; email ends with duck dot com.

These are songs I'm mostly interested in covering but I am open to suggestions and originals:
-Teena Marie: Square biz
-Jamiroquai: Where do we go from here, Traveling without moving, Use the force(live at Montreux), Canned Heat, Planet home.
-Prince: Let's go crazy, Computer Blue
-James Brown: cold sweat, Get on the good foot, Body Heat, Sex Machine, Give it up or turn it loose, Papa's got a brand new bag,
-Rick James: Superfreak, Give it to me Baby, standing on the top,
-D train: you're the one
-The time: 777-9311
-Funkadelic: Not just knee deep, funk gets stronger, Red hot mama, standing on the verge, Cosmic Slop(live version)
-Skyy: Call me, High
-Santana: (De Le) Yaleo, Maria Maria, hope you're feeling better
-Gap band: party train, You dropped a bomb,
-Band of Gypsys: who knows,
-Jimi Hendrix: Little Miss lover
-Shalamar: Make that move
-Chic: Good times
-Lisa Lisa & Cult jam: Can you feel the beat
-Earth Wind & Fire: Can't Hide love, Getaway
-Tom Browne: Funkin' for Jamaica
-Kool & the Gang: Get down on it
