Deanna drums + Musician in Gales Ferry, CT

SEEKING

ABOUT

I drum, bass and sing for Gypsy Sun.

Gypsy Sun is my priority. They are multi instrument talented, enthusiastic team players, who make playing music VERY enjoyable and not a chore.... and I'm blessed to be part of this project.

Thanks for checking out my profile!

I'm a damn good drummer and lead or back up vocalist.... seeking an established band ...I want to meet other serious and COMMITTED musicians trying to get a project off the ground, as the case may be.

I'm a team player, serious, committed, and dependable. I can be your drummer, or your singing drummer or your lead vocalist who fronts the band.

As you can see by my pix and vids.... I'm very happy in life!!! I can be pretty silly and goofy. Life is very good and I'm blessed in so many ways, music and personal.

I'm a solid foundation drummer, not flashy.

My mentor is Bonham, and NOT Moon. Beat keeper, tempo manager, song structure and cues anchor. Not a jazz drummer. I'll play anything but I'm NOT into rap at all, sorry. I do NOT have a female's voice for most songs, as I'm a tenor.

I'm confident in my abilities and I know my limitations, which I work on daily.

I've 45 years of drum experience ....and have my own home with space to rehearse in Ledyard, Ct, including a small PA system. Since I am retired, I can come up to speed on songs quickly. I'm available 24/7.

My desired rehearsal travel radius is 50 miles from Ledyard, CT (06335).
