Currently involved in a blues project, The Paul Sigmon Band, out of Bowling Green, Va., and occasionally, with by good friends, Jim Gillim of Woodbridge, VA., and Bob Hubbard, of Woodford, VA. Both the band, and the individuals, have myspace pages....look them up. Still looking at putting together a Blues band to travel and record. Able to devote a lot of time and energy and don't mind traveling, if the gig is right. I will play for fun, or money...just want to be involved with people who are as serious about what they are putting out there, as I am. Love to jam in the local, Stafford / F'burg / NoVA / Richmond areas. You can reach me by mailing sonnybell at verizonmail dot com. Let's get together and make some music!

Influences:

Elvin Jones, Philly Joe Jones, Buddy Rich, Buddy Miles, Steve Smith, Don Henley, and many others. I try to take a little from a large spectrum. I am basicially a laid-back, in-the-pocket type drummer. Steady, but not overpowering.

Equipment List:

Three different drumsets: A Pearl kit..22" bass drum,snare, 10", 12", 13", 16" toms, a vintage '70's set of Ludwig drums...love their sound...and a smaller, bop-style kit by Gretsch....Zildjian cymbals, Audio-Technica mikes, Carvin mixer (for subbing). Mackie 20 channel mixer, Crown amplifier, Stage snake, JBL speakers w/stands, Behringer patch bay, Behringer compressor & EQ...Shure Beta58 vocal mic, tube pre-amp, mic stands, Misc percussion.... And, lots of other stuff---guitars, bass, amps, piano, sound system, etc. Ready to play out.
