Self taught drummer...been playing over 10 years. I've been heavy in the band scene since i was 15, started playing drums at 12. Was in the NJ based pop punk band "The LongShot", who recoreded and cut an EP. played at Hamilton Street Cafe (RIP), and various NJ fall fests and battle of the bands, been rolling with the likes of Crash Romeo (from my high school), Jettison, BigWig, Catch 22. love the NY/NJ pop punk, ska, screamo, rock scene..haven't been in a band in awhile did Drum teching for my Uncle's band "From good homes" (if you've never heard they open for DMB) love the band/tour life. Been doing the jamband scene all four years at college playing basement shows/ parties so i'm basically looking for a like minded band who wants to play shows, tour or jam out and build comradere with those that are serious about staying and building a fanbase...i'm also very tech savvy and do alot of online promotions and social networking

EQUIPMENT
unfortunately a house fire has devastated my drum kit and i lost all of my Zildjian A custom cymbals, double pedals, top-of-the-line hardware and Pearl drums, since then i have replaced with a Tama Kit and slowly getting my drums back to there former glory days, but it takes time and money, so any borrowed or donated equipment would be greatly appreciated (some gigs have a house kit) and many other bands are generous to let me use their equipment. but i am always looking to expand my skills with new and different techniques and equipment.
