ABOUT

Been playing for over 20 years. I've played weddings, concerts, churches, bars, cover bands, original bands, and everything in between. Tiny rooms to 3000+ stages. Have played a little bit of everything - jazz, funk, rock, pop, country, folk. Solid pocket, good at doing my homework, serving the song, fantastic feel, and very likable personality.

Not the flashiest drummer. I only use a single pedal anymore; I'm very good at keeping time, serving the music, playing dynamically. I'm also a decent backup vocalist.

Have recorded, played out, 500+ gigs, the whole thing. My sweet spot is anything that's got a groove or pocket, anything that makes the listener and the band feel.

Looking for mature musicians (not necessarily old, just mature) who have something unique and interesting to offer.
