A Different Drummer

About Me

Professionally, I'm a musician and a media manipulator. Personally, I'm a good listener and a fair speaker. And, secretly, I have more friends than MySpace knows ...

My Interests

Politics, percussion and philosophy. You are listening to my attempt to incorporate all three: Best Interest, by my band, ZumunuZ.



I'd like to meet:

Descartes and Socrates ...have lunch with Jack DeJohnette, dinner with Billy Cobham, and breakfast with Evelyn Glennie!
Dance like nobody's lookin' - Drum like everybody's cookin'


Music:

Player not working? Refresh, or click "Best Interest" above. Curious about ZumunuZ? Click our link, #1 Friend, or visit our Bandwagon.co.uk site
Thanks to all my bandmates, ever, especially those I've been able to post: ZumunuZ, Killer Rabbit & Joystick ...check out our videos, too (see blog link). ..
Get your own playlist at snapdrive.net!
Special thanks to my buddy Stump the Drummer for never dropping a stick -- I couldn't do it without you!
I enjoy and employ music which moves me literally and figuratively. Whether it's a rhythm and a beat which coaxes the body to motion, or a mood and a message which evoke an emotion -- Sibelius or Santana, Marley or Metheny, Lloyd-Webber or Mahavishnu Orchestra. Or these cats . . .

Show...Cantaloupe Island - Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette

Movies:

"What the Bleep Do We Know," "Time Bandits," Oliver Stone, Julie Taymor and Spike Lee joints -- Woody, Quentin and Spielberg.


What Classic Movie Are You?

Television:

PBS Primetime, ESPN, Comedy Central.

Books:

AUTHORS: Homer, Voltaire, Hugo, Vonnegut, Hesse.

Heroes:

Gutenberg (representin' inventin' movable type and the printin' pressin', not disrespectin' those who clearly predate 'im), Newton, Daguerre, Talbot, Lumiere, Edison, Tainter, Berliner, Marconi, Mullin, Eastman, Atanasoff, Crawford, Shockley, Noyce, Jobs -- in other words, those whose thinkin' and tinkerin' left us with tangible toys and tools to use, abuse and amuse. So, get busy. Use your tools, like, say, Keith Olbermann:
