Banditdrummer

Music and drums have been a huge part of my life since I started beating on my moms tupperware bowls when I was a just a toddler. I started playing the set in 5th grade and never had a private lesson. I learned by listening and playing along with classic rock bands such as Alice Cooper,Boston,Aerosmith,Nugent,Skynyrd... I've performed out in numerous bands since I was in 9th grade. I love the big stage,the bigger the croud the better. I just love to perform and see people appreciate the music and feel the beat. I have Opened up for some major acts in the country music scene such as Charlie Daniels and Merle Haggard,T.G. Sheppard,Statler Bros., to name a few, and had oportunities to go international with Darold and Don Ellis and the Southern Comfort Band back in the 80's,but didn't becouse of the timing. On the rock end I have been in a band with a member from 9 inch nails (prior to fame) and did some work with a member of M.S.B. I've also done some studio composition of drum parts and recording. I'm a self taught musician and music comes to me naturally. I also do some lead and back up vocals. Currently have reformed the Bandit band jamming up a storm with you folks between Cleveland,OH and North Western PA.I love the outdoors and am an avid archery hunter and fisherman. I also have many other interest. I appreciate and enjoy the simple things in life,cuz that's all that really matters when it all boils down. I'm a real person and like real people. Just tell it like it is and be yourself not someone your not. I'm very honest and hold my word. I have a big heart and care about people and appreciate good friends.
