Drummer John F + Musician in Webster Groves, MO

SEEKING

ABOUT

Primarily looking to play groove oriented rock covers, ideally for a crowd, but jam sessions work too. Anything with a groove is worth considering, for example: G Love, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Dirty Heads, Black Keys, Eric Lindell, JJ Grey, Jet, Kravitz, Donavon Frankenreiter, Cake, Beck, Zeppelin, The Stones, Dispatch, Citizen Cope, Bill Withers, Van Morrison, Hendrix, Marley, and so, so many others...

Mid-2021 Update: Earlier this year I started drumming with The Stereo Types (thestereotypesband dot com), playing roots and blues influenced rock originals and covers, so that leaves little time for other musical ventures. As schedule allows, I am still interested in fill-in or short term music projects, recording, or jams in the near future.

EQUIPMENT

Large old set of Ludwigs, small set of compact Tamas, Zildjian cymbals for both, Shure microphones, small Behringer mixers, Roland Cube monitors, Latin and hand percussion, cases, and a vehicle to get me there... I prefer a compact setup that fits better in a venue and is easier to transport.
