SEEKING

ABOUT

Experience: Played drums since high school and played in college. Favorite music is classic rock from the 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s but have played many different genres.

As a drummer, my goal is to be a good timekeeper, complement the band and add tasteful fills where appropriate. I practice/play 3-4 times a week.
