icb + Musician in Moraine, OH

SEEKING

ABOUT

I like to play Jazz, Latin-influenced Jazz, Fusion, and Progressive Rock with a World Music influence.

I'm always open to getting together with competent musicians to play. It doesn't have to result in a gig, I just love to play with good players.
One of my greatest strengths is the ability to spontaneously listen, interpret and respond to the music in the moment.

You can listen to a live radio performance I did with the Rehugnant Jazz Quartet back in 2018 by using your browser's search engine to do a search for "Rehugnant Jazz Quartet Live On Kaleidoscope" (bandmix doesn't allow external links).

I own a private recording studio and can record drum tracks for your song if you supply me with the multitrack files/stems. I will overdub drum tracks on as many separate tracks as required, i.e. every drum on it's own track or a 2 channel mix, whatever you want. There is a picture or two of the studio in the photos section. Examples included here are Hang Time and A Sketch Of Spain, on which I played drums, engineered, and mixed. Contact me to discuss rates if you are interested in this.

EQUIPMENT

8 piece vintage Tama drums (for recording), 6 piece Tama StarClassic (for live gigs). Single bass drum, single or double pedal. Lots of cymbals and a great 1980's Milestone snare drum. I don't necessarily use the full setup; sometimes the music doesn't require it, or at other times there are physical space limitations.
