tpkdrummer + Musician in Lakeland, FL

SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm 44, and have been playing drums since grade school. Been in some classic rock bands but never got much opportunity to play out.

The classic rock cover band I am in right now is not moving in the right direction for me.

I live in Lakeland FL, and don't mind travelling for the right situation.

I like most rock from every decade (60's-00's). The harder rock is better. Also like playing Funk / Jazz / Fusion / Dance / Techno / Blues and especially originals.

Definately No Rap or Country. I also play some guitar and have many original ideas.
