Band Members: I play drums, especially rock, funk, soul and jazz music.
I play DW drums and pedals, Breedlove acoustic, Fender Tele electric guitar, Yamaha Motif synth, Kurzweil PC-88 piano and Zildjian A&K cymbals.
I'd play an old wet sneaker if it sounded good too...
I do audio production in my home studio using Cakewalk Sonar 5.0.
