ABOUT

WEBSITE - thumpah19.wixsite/drums

Pro drummer based out of Southern, NH that has performed in many bands/projects over the years, in the studio, on stage, locally and abroad.
I've covered and enjoy many styles and genres, but always prefer some element of improvisation and love creating, no matter the genre. If you are looking for someone to replicate a drum part off the record; or play it the same every time, I am so NOT the guy.

Currently, outside of my semi-retirement from gigging, my only music related commitment is with singer/songwriter Tom Dixon from Nashville, TN, in support of his Northeastern/New England dates. These average about 3-10 annual shows and dates are known well in advance.

I'm pretty comfy in my “gig retirement” life of the past few years. With that said, I would consider jumping into something part time.....IF....... the right fit were to come along.

The right fit, would be:

1.An easy going, LOCAL (i.e. - South Eastern, NH / Merrimack Valley, MA), low maintenance talented trio; or 4 piece project that is ONLY looking to play LOCALLY only, a only few times a month in the South Eastern, NH / Merrimack Valley, MA area.

2. A project that seeks commensurate compensation from venues, that makes it worth everyone's time away from home, the drive and the load ins/outs. I’m not interested in playing out for gas $, or for the fun of it - music is not a hobby to me and I play as often as I want at home.

For reference, the local projects I have been involved with in past 10 years, each member took home a min $125-$250 a night.

I'm open to multiple styles/genres: acoustic, rock, pop, jazz, country, folk, bluegrass, rockabilly, or a fusion of any of these. Really would love to do something different involving horn(s), piano, bass.
