DESCRIPTION:
I've been drumming for many years. I tend to lean towards the rock styles, however I can enjoy many different genres. Strong harmonizing skills in thirds and fifths. I am reliable and like to have fun, but also take the music seriously. Pro drum gear, mic equipment, and reliable transportation. P.A. and nice practice space available.

DRUMMING EXPERIENCE:
5 years of lessons, 18 years with "The Midnight Ridge Band", a busy classic rock/country band, and 6 years with "Stuck In Your Head", an alternative/modern rock band. I've played genres including country and rock from 60's on up.

OBJECTIVE:
Practices with the goal of an occasional gig. Covers only.
