Steady, what you see is what you get, experienced drummer. After a two year hiatus, I'm currently playing w/ country/rock band "Brushfire" out of Bloomington, IL, as well as shows with local bands "GAS.ROAD.RIOT." and "Boycott Hollywood".
Straight up rock and roll is my thing, but I'm also down with blues, country and metal.

I've got a lot on my plate right now, but I'm still interested in country stuff: Bluegrassy, Outlaw style or Alt. Country if you get my meaning. I am also very interested in Irish/Celtic traditional. When time allows I'm always up for a jam with new people, having fun, and learning new stuff.

About me: Ive been playing out over 14 years and have played hundreds of gigs. No formal training, but pretty comfortable around those who are. I'm adaptable, not afraid of a click, and know what dynamics are. Most of my playing experience has been with rock/blues, some jam band stuff, and local metal band FOIL. I also played w/ Johnny Russler and the Beach Bum Band(02'to 05'). We toured the midwest and played several regional gigs as Jimmy Buffett's band.
