ABOUT

Former professional drummer craves new creative contacts. Life is meaningless without live expression.

My playing is solid, powerful, punchy, dynamic, tasteful ...deep grooves, lots of spaces.

No personality/ego trips. Laid back and reliable.

Looking to jam/perform with competent players who can improvise and play what they feel in the PRESENT moment... not just copy a recording of someone else's playing done in the PAST.

Check out my influences. If we're on the same page... let's get started.

I don't have any recordings of my own drumming, so I uploaded a few songs that show the kind of music that lights me up. UPDATE: A friend just sent me this recording of a basement jam held at a house party around the turn of the century. It's at the bottom of the song list.
