ABOUT

Experienced, solid groove drummer - it's about the song, the music. Most of my experience is in Blues and Blues Rock, but have played a ton of Classic Rock, Funk, Southern Rock, Country, Pop, and even done some Hip-Hop and Dance drumming.
Very solid shuffle, can swing well. I keep excellent time. Click track no problem.

Played live in various bands in Chicago, Southern California, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. Have recorded and played live for 35+years in all of those cities.

Now back in Chicago. Good catalog of covers - Blues, Blues Rock, Classic Rock, Southern Rock, Pop, Funk, Dance, Country.
