SEEKING

ABOUT

Looking for a solid Rock & Roll bass player with backing vocals. Someone that plays to the song & understands dynamics, arrangements, etc.

Also looking for powerful but sensible Rock & Roll drummer with solid meter, groove, dynamics, and a sense for song arrangements. Backing vocals nice, but not a requirement.

The goal is to put together a tight group that can play three or four sets of fun covers at a bar or party, as well as a set of my originals at a club.

EQUIPMENT

G&L, Fender, Guild, and Rickenbacker guitars which I play through Mesa, Fender, and Marshall amplifiers.

As a drummer, I use ProMark sticks, Paiste cymbals, Evans, and Remo heads, and have been a Ludwig man since day one.

For recording I have a small-ish collection of mics including AKG, Sennheiser, Shure, MXL, & Oktava, and have been a Pro Tools user for over 15 years.
