ABOUT

Experienced drummer with vast repertoire of songs. From Classic Rock, Country, Funk, Blues, Soul, and Reggae, to Modern Pop/Rock, Roots/Americana, RnB, and Top 40/Contemporary Hit Radio. If you play the circuit, or what's left of it, I probably know most of your repertoire. I can quickly learn anything I'm not familiar with.

Solid time, and great feel, in all genres.
Comfortable playing with a click, or sequences/tracks.
Present well on stage - energy and enthusiasm.
Able to contribute vocally - BG/harmony.
Excellent dynamic control - play for the room.
Acoustic and electronic drum sets.

Influences

Inspired and influenced by a wide range of musicians. From Frank Zappa to Lawrence Welk. From Bob Dylan to George Clinton.

Although I am drummer/percussionist, I started my musical journey with melodic instruments; classical training in violin, and piano. My approach to percussion is rooted in serving, and supporting, the melody of each song.

EQUIPMENT

I own acoustic and electronic kits, plus supporting electronics (mics, sub-mixers, in-ear monitors, etc). This enables me to piece together the perfect setup for any project/venue.

I own reliable transportation, and am fine traveling. I load-in and set up quickly. Tear down, and load-out is just as smooth.
