ABOUT

Experienced drummer new to the area looking to rock. I love to play music more than anything and am looking for other musicians to either start something new or would like to add or replace a drummer.

I'm a Rock drummer that's got a lot of Funk, and Soul in my blood, as well as a terminal case of the blues. I am a dynamic, versatile player with a good memory, a built-in metronome, and I'm definitely not just a time keeper. If you only want to play covers and have no interest in developing something original, you're definitely not my type.

EQUIPMENT

Ludwig Epic, Ludwig Breakbeats by Quest Love, Alesis DM10 MKII Pro, Pearl Malletstation (which I'm still figuring out), an array of hand drums, and a lot of other Percussion instruments. Full basement jam space cause schlepping drums is a bitch, but I do have a small kit I can tote around.
