SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano.ABOUT
I am very passionate about drumming. I want to play drum kit in a rock band now in upstate New York, where I relocated to with my wife and dog in the summer of 2022.
I have been playing Drum kit and percussion for over 25 years. I was classically trained on the clarinet throughout junior high and high school in Los Angeles, California. I studied and played West African drumming with the djembe for 12 years. I taught a community drum class for several years in the Bay area of Northern California. I was one of the prominent house drummers for an open mic for about 14 years in a very well established music club/bar called “19 Broadway”in Fairfax, just outside of San Francisco. I have played in original music bands and a cover band.
I am looking to meet some talented musicians - guitar players, bass guitar, and lead singer to put a small band together and play gigs out.
I also like to play acoustic style with hand drums and percussion.
