About Me

'ello! Aaron here. The basic rundown is like this. Currently a freelance drummer playing with a few different artists right now.
Marcus Henderson - Marcus is most famous for his work on the popular video game, Guitar Hero.
Spoken To Q - A band based in Dayton, OH that I am a fuls part-time member of. Figure that one out.
Billy Carri - A Cincinnati-based musician, I am doing some drum work for. We've done some and plan on doing more regional touring in the midwest.
What else could you possibly want to know. I'm a free-agent drummer who's had the chance to play with some very cool artists ranging from a former member of the Grateful Dead to jamming with Page Hamilton from Helmet and Marcus Henderson of Guitar Hero (as mentioned above).
All in all I'm pretty laid back and don't take the business too seriously as it will only beat you down sometimes. I have no tolorance for fake assholes who pretend to be something they're not for their own agendas. God knows I've had plenty of those in the past and recent history.
I also run an online magazine called, BackstageMusician.Com. You can find interviews, podcasts, album reviews, product reviews and so much more. Check it out and let me know what you think!
That's all for now...CHEERS!
PAST TOUR DATES
So below is a list of dates I've played throughout the years. Its organized by date, then lists the band I played with, the venue, then finally the city/state. Could I be a bigger nerd? (Well the answer to that question is 'yes' b/c i AM a bigger nerd, I just haven't showcased that side of me on here...yet.)
