My name is Boris and I'm very simple guy from de-e-e-p Russian countryside with some 25 years of pro experience in playing drums (both live & studio) as well as arranging and composing music, doing quite descent back vocals, teaching drums (mainly) and piano (sometimes) gigging with my band (The Third Step) and a few others here and there, including Euro(05)& Canadian West Coast(06)tours with Wild T & The Spirit.So if you're looking (or know anybody who is) for someone who has years and years of experience, feels comfortable on the road or in the studio and is serious about it - I am your guy right here. Besides drumming I also have 8 years of piano school and 4 years of University of Music education so I have no smallest problem with reading/writing charts, playing to click track, doing studio jobs (drumming and arranging/composing), working with Cubase and similar programs and therefore would be more than happy with being part of well established serious pro act that is above average good club band.I came to Canada from Ukraine via Israel some 12 years ago. I became noticed through out the country (USSR) as a major label touring drummer. I hit my first major tour at age 22.I did 3 major label acts touring/recording since then until me and my family (5pc) left USSR by the end of 1990. We moved to Israel so that one of my sons could have his heart surgery done which was totally impossible in USSR. It turns out that Israel happened to be the Holly Land for me because my son got his problem fixed and I did nothing but work in music biz there including extensive studio work, being drummer for major label artist and drummer of top show band with 9 mini Euro tours (all in Tel-Aviv). Later on, my family and I finally moved to Canada as it was highly recommended for my son to move to "cold" country after his heart surgery, so we're here and we like it. The only problem was - it has been a struggle to find a stable an upscale job with the title of a "Russian Drummer", broken English and 100 times less connections then average Toronto drummer. So I ended up with puting my own band together . We have been (and still are) doing shows at various different pubs and bars, casinos, resorts, islands and such. It's alright, although I would really like to find something where I'd have more job security ( in the music biz!?!?.. I must be crazy...) and feel more comfortable with the income so that I can better support myself and my family.
