Playing drums...Duh!
Other musicians that have a passion for playing and have drive to do something with it!I'm always on the lookout for cool side projects, jams and session work!
I love a wide variety of music sweeping the spectrum of rock-alternative-funk-hip hop-blues-fusion-prog rock. Anything that has a kickin' groove that makes you move and is interesting to listen to!
Have read most of King, Koontz, Anthony, Crichton, Donaldson and always have to have a Modern Drummer magazine handy! If drum books count...there's about a billion of those!!
Drumming heroes and influences: Danny Carey, Virgil Donati, Vinnie Colaiuta, Steve Smith
