About Me

THESE ARE UNFINISHED SONGS, I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH, I'M ALWAYS TWEEKING WITH MY RECORDINGS, I'M JUST TOO EXCITED TO KEEP ANY OF THEM OFF MY PAGE FOR PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO, SO IF YOU THINK THAT SOME OF THEM ARE MISSING SOMETHING, JUST REMEMBER THAT I'M NOT CALLING THESE MY ULTIMATE TAKES, NOT TO MENTION I'M PLAYING ALL THE INSTRUMENTS.I'm a music major. Main "shtick" is playing drums, and percussion. I'd rate myself on other instruments moderatly, I know, just think "I'm more than likely better then someone at one instrument or another, like at guitar, bass, piano, the vocal cords, or the penny flute". After that it's pretty much just some basic scales, and louie louie on flute, clarinet, trombone, tuba, french horn.

Sounds Like: well, right now, the songs you will hear on my page here, are the softer ones, MY PLAYING IS MUCH MORE THAN JUST THE SOFT SHIT! My hard songs are usually with bands, because most of the guitar/piano playing I do is softer, standards, folky stuff. but my drumming can do it all, as you will soon hear. oh, and if I owned a concert flute, or clarinet, or sax(or violin, or cello, or trombone.....etc.) I could put some of that into some of my songs.
Record Label: I record/produce my stuff
Type of Label: None
