NEED AFFORDABLE AND PROFESSIONAL SESSION DRUMWORK?
I’m a session drummer based in Portland hirable for shows/gigs/performances, studio work, beat/rhythm creation, general drum/percussion consultation, and lessons. I’m comfortable and proficient in almost any popular genre. My strongest attribute is versatility; I play and add well to anything from Smooth Jazz to Heavy Rock. While I am working up my chops, the only genre I would refer someone else for would be Speed Metal; other than that, I can hook you up well. I soaked in lessons from anyone I could until I joined the Army following high school and attended the Navy’s renowned Tri-Service School of Music in Norfolk, VA in 97’ and 98’. Since, I’ve performed with and recorded for numerous bands in the area playing Top40, Garage Punk, Screamo, Oldies, Theatre/Show Tunes and most recently for a Goth/Doom Metal act! 28 yrs old...first sticks at age 4...so 24yrs playing drums? Ha! Really though, I love hearing and adding to new music; drumming is my lifeblood. Please, feel free to contact me anytime with any questions at 360-260-3530 or [email protected] . Can't wait to work with you!
