SEEKING

ABOUT

• I am an experienced drummer having gigged full time and part time with various local, regional, and national groups over the years.
• Some of my musical pursuits have been R&B, Beach, Jazz, Rock, Drum & Bugle Corps, and Orchestral music.
• I was inducted into the Carolina Beach Music Hall of Fame with the Castaways in 2014.
• I am familiar with many genres (R&B, Jazz, Rock/Americana, Contemporary Christian/Gospel, and Country) and have the ability to listen and blend with the whole.
• I can do some backing vocals with the occasional lead.
• I have a pretty flexible schedule for rehearsals and play dates and of course have equipment/transportation covered.

All drum parts are my drumming on the audio tracks below.
