ABOUT

Hey there!

Been a while since I’ve landed on Bandmix but have met some great people who’ve been long time friends now thanks to this app, so am hopeful lighting strikes twice.

Drums are my primary instrument. I may not have the steam I had at 25 but as a drummer I like to rock out. Playing in highschool jazz bands and being influenced by guys like Bonham and Grohl has given my playing a bit of a jazzy touch but always with a rock driven groove. (playing since age 10). For something different I’d consider a full jazz or blues band.

Also, I have been playing acoustic/rhythm for about 10 years and am developing some chops as a rhythm player/vocalist. I haven’t decided which instrument to position first- depends on the project/opportunity.

I’m a single Dad with 50% of my time being super free and flexible and the other 50% less so, but can definitely dedicate specific days each week to time to jamming/rehearsing. By day, I’m a corporate 9-5 guy in the climate tech industry… Looking for some guys in their 30’s/40’s who can connect on a similar level.

The first three songs uploaded are from my last band where I played drums. The last three are me on the acoustic and singing, (recorded on iphone)
