ABOUT

Experienced musician and poly-instrumentalist. Main instrument currently drums, but also play bass and guitar to keep somewhat competent there. Have audio engineering experience (record/mix/master) and have plenty of stage experience. Up until 2010 I played with a fairly popular local band where we performed as direct support for some decently popular European power metal bands. Not sure what I want to do just yet, but open to ideas. I have plenty of recordings and can demo pretty much anything in my small home studio if anyone wants to do some soft/exploratory collaboration. I'm laid-back, no ego (way past that stage), and looking for low stress, enjoyable collaborations just to see where it goes. Prefer collaboration via filesharing before moving forward to something bigger. Just my experience that this saves a lot of time for everyone.

EQUIPMENT

Several ESP LTD Guitars, all Baritone or Standard B Tuning, Roland TD-11 kit . Multiple MIDI/USB keyboards for songwriting, rack unit with PSA 1.1 and Line 6 HD Pro. Recording interfaces in a small studio. I'm gainfully employed and comfortable, so not an issue to upgrade whatever if the situation is right.
