I am a very talented, ambitiously creative drummer with a lot of experience that is looking to join a band or start collaborating with other technically sound musicians to get something together.
I gel well and easily with other musicians and ideas, I want to work into strictly original songs. With that being said, I also know playing some covers will be a must in order to get more comfortable playing music together.
I've played a lot of gigs having been in more than a dozen bands, as well as numerous fill-ins for different gigs. Looking to play with a group of musicians that are driven & just as creative as I am at making music. I've played with too many groups that were an inch away from progression but the group was being held back by "lacking" individuals.
Gig potential is great, have people that are basically "waiting on me" with venue (not bar) bookings. If this is what you are wanting to do as well, please contact me ASAP.
