About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

First and foremost I have to give God the credit for any natural talent I was born with. As a musician / drummer God's plan for me was right on target and one which I believe was Divinely inspired. Other Thank's go to my wife Karen, my parents and older brother Carl for continued support.My philosophy with regards to drumming is "Be A Musician First" and a drummer second. Be a player in the band, not a soloist out on his own and always keep it fun !!!! I have always played the drums in a way that benefits the whole overall sound of the group. It's not just a matter of playing what feels right too you, it's more a matter of capturing the right feel, dynamics, drum fills and attitude in order to help the group sound better. Love your bass player and keep him close at your side because you guys "Set The Foundation" with which everything else is built upon. Simply put "YOUR STYLE IS MY STYLE" "HOW CAN I HELP" Use this as your philosophy and you'll keep alot of people happy and make alot of friends in the music business as a side musician.

I'd like to meet:

About me: I have been drumming for 36 years. It was my older brother that sparked my interest in drums "Thanks Bro" !!!! I was a shy kid with few friends until I started drumming which brought me out of my shell "Thank God". Earned money playing my first professional gig at the tender age of 13 with my older brothers Rock Band at my own 8th grade graduation dance. Played Clarinet in elementary school. Switched to drums in high school. Played the Bass drum in marching band. Played drums for the high school stage band and jazz band. Played drums for the Arizona Western College jazz ensemble. Also played drums for the "Royalairs" high school vocal group. After high school I began playing with everyone and anyone needing a drummer. I also formed my own bands in between. As a freelance drummer I have played just about every style there is to play. It was this "Your Style Is My Style" philosophy that kept me in demand. The following is a list of the many bands I have performed with: Airspeed Indicator--Staton Kole--Judy And The Jacks--Exposure--Ron Mann & The Country Clan--A Sure Thing--Dakota--Privateer--White Noise--Body Of Believers--Rebell Yell--The Last Resort Band--Forgotten Kings--Time Peace !!!!"Follow The Music" & "Keep It Real" !!!!
