ABOUT

Very devoted drummer with decades of experience and looking for like-minded professionals that are willing to get into the things that are fun about playing music again. I know there's been a plethora of things that haven't worked out for many, many good players around here. Much of the "talent" that is in this area seem to be recycled musicians from here and seemingly none have found a good situation. I will tell you that you will get the best drumming out of me when I commit to a project and you won't find a better and more experienced drummer with the equipment and attitude than me in the entire North State. I have many, many things to offer and am not offended if you don't like playing a certain song etc. I just want to get to work and get some people enjoying a "great" band again in this area... not just an "average" band etc. Also, there are alot of great drummers around here.. So why are you looking for one? Simple answer, the talent pool here is only full with average drummers. Give me 10 minutes and I will show you why I'm as confident as I should be. Rock on man, I have what you're looking for.

EQUIPMENT

My gear consists of (Main Kit) Ludwig Maple Double Bass Kit 2X24 Kick Drums, DW9000 Hardware, Paiste Signature Cymbals Full Set, Paiste RUDE X-Hats, Paiste Rude 2002 Aquiles Priester Giga Bell X-Ride, Sabian Chad Smith 20" Holy China, Sabian 8" and 10" Chopper Effects Cymbals, Tama Full Set of Octobans, Aquarian Heads, Ludwig Supraphonic Snare, DW9000 Pedals, Tama- 1st Chair Hydraulic 4-legged Super Throne, Vic-Firth Sticks and Hot Rods, Vater Percussion Technology etc.

Second Set: Yamaha custom advantage nouveau series, 22" Virgin Bass Drum with full set of 5 toms and Floor Tom. Cymbals: Zildjian K series Dark Hats, Zildjian K series Custom Dark Crash, Zildjian K Series Custom Ride, Zildjian K Series Splash, Yamaha Demonator Double Bass Drum Pedal with matching 2-Legged Hi Hat Stand. I also put another side Snare on this kit with a Mapex Black Panther Snare with some killer heads it sounds fan-fucking-tastic. Gibraltar Hydraulic Throne and a nice towel to wipe my face...

Third Set: Ludwig Accent CS Elite Custom, just a practice kit and looks and sound gorgeous. I don't really need to go into it but it's brand new. Also has double bass PDP Double Drive Bass Pedal and Matching Hi Hat for speed and endurance. I have Sabian AA and AAX and HHX for this kit for the cymbals. The Hi Hats are Rare 13" Hand Hammered Hi Hats and sound really great. The ride is a Sabian AA Dry Bell Ride and it's probable my favorite. All upper cymbals are Zildjian A Series Thin Crashes and Thin splash. I enjoy the light variety of these cymbals as they're not as dominating on recordings as the Paiste or the Sabians.

I have a vast range of drumming styles, I prefer to not indulge in country or rap or crap like that. I am well-versed in click-track playing and sequencer/multi-track playing including using my Roland V Drums for triggers during song-playthrough situations. Speaking of V Drums. I have a full set of Midi-Capable/Easy Tracking Vdrums that are state-of-the-art and available for any situation that need their utilization.
