I'm AVAILABLE for anything. I would really like to be in a band that gigs every weekend and would eventually like that band to be playing originals.
I don't do drugs, but I don't care if you do as long as it doesn't affect the music and the band dynamic. I drink, but not enough to get drunk if I'm playing.
I'm working with some friends at the moment on putting a new band together, but I have plenty of free time for another group too. I was in 4 bands and once a few years ago... no problems.
I'm your guy.

(keep in mind that I would never use all of these at the same time... it's just nice to have options)
HARDWARE:
Gibraltar 3 sided rack
14 or so cymbal arms
DW 5000 2 leg hi hat stand
DW 5000 single kick pedal
DW 5000 double kick pedal
DW 5000 remote cable hi hat (4 or 10 foot)
other misc cymbal stands
Basically with the amount of gear I have I can be comfortable playing with anything from a jazz combo to a progressive rock band. I change my setup constantly to suit the group I'm currently working with.
OTHER GEAR:
I have access to a PA big enough for any bar in Fargo/Moorhead. This PA includes everything a band would need to play a show and was designed to accomodate an 8 piece band with 4 horns. The owner would probably also be available to run sound, for a fee.
