About Me

I hit stuff for a living, that's pretty cool. Check out the band I am in......The Wyatts http://www.myspace.com/thewyatts http://www.wyattstheband.com................................ .................................. I also teach private percussion lessons and do a fill-in and studio work. Been playing drums forever but also studied piano, cello, guitar, voice, etc... I have played in too many bands to count. Mostly in the style of "rock", in its many forms........... Recently I have also played with, Rich Hopkins and Luminarios, and The Last Call Brawlers. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

DRUMS! Here's clip of The Wyatts from the Spring Club Crawl 2006 and that's me slapping the skins in the back! ..

I'd like to meet:

Animal, Ringo Starr, Dave Grohl, Earl Palmer..............................

Music:

Like most people, I love Beatles/Stones/Zeppelin. Don't trust anyone who doesn't. I listen to a lot of jazz, blues, classic country, and world music at home and on the road.If I am listening to rock music, it's probably dated as I have not heard many bands recently that I really like. WITH THE EXCEPTION of the local Tucson band LUCA and Portland's NORFOLK & WESTERN! (They sound like a version of Grandaddy that isn't weak.) Both of these bands are cool! Generally speaking though, the "indie rock" thing is not very "indie" or good right now. Turn off your radio, then smash it.I have an iPod and that has changed my worldview. VIVA la revolucion digital. (I still love the sound of my old LPs though!)

Movies:

The last movie I saw in theatres was "Flushed Away". Highly recommended for 16 month olds. Nicholas loved it! ..
