SEEKING

ABOUT

For over 40 years now, I've played drums in both professional and hobby bands, both on stage an in the studio. With years of experience under my belt, many studio recordings, and hundreds of shows, you can look me up if you need a drummer.

I've played a variety of musical styles. My favorites are classic rock, hair metal, and country. But I also play blues and pop. From The Eagles to The Killers, Carrie Underwood to Cold Play, Michael Bublé to Metallica, Pink Floyd to Pink, Fugees to Foo Fighters, and everything in between.
