ABOUT

Drummer with solid meter, ( as I have been told )
Seeking gigging band. cover or tribute band, original project.
90's grunge.

Learned drums as a kid and joined a pipe and drum band in 2006. Toured around Alberta playing parades and events with a trip to Scotland to tour and play. Got back into drums around 2007 joining a rock & blues band playing around Calgary pubs, community centres, parties and and out of town in Longview.
When in a band I practice daily,
I've played in a few bands since 2007. Drums and backing vocals on the last band.
Music played : old blues, new blues, Rock and classic rock.
I am open to interesting projects, Originals, Cover bands, different genres.
I'd like to play, rock, 90's grunge and hits or play in a tribute band. I can also play classic rock.
I like the 90's rock and listen to 92.1 /92.9fm but have always listened Jazz, progressive jazz, but have not tried playing jazz, that I think would be tough ! I'm also open to expanding my horizons and learning more.
Team player and always ready to help set up and tear down.
No addictions and on time. I'd like to find a band that wants to play live once or twice a month or a tribute band that has bookings through out the year !
