Bio
-
A drummer with over 20 years professional experience, both live and in the studio. Have played with several baltimore bands (Betty In Black; Final Destination; Kommon Kause; The Kevin Robinson Band, and am looking to join a band playing out steadily...I am primarily a GROOVE drummer...i prefer to establish the foundation, then orchestrate as needed...I play anywhere from a 4 to 7 piece kit, but prefer the simplicity of the 4 pc. I don't mind playing cover tunes, but would prefer a band/project where the emphasis is original music and how it can be moved to the next phase. Not looking to be a superstar or anything like that. I would just like to be able to sit down and make some great music with individuals interested in doing the same thing.
