About Me

Please email offers, inquiries, and MP3s to: [email protected] ********************************************************I'm game for playing just about any style with anyone....blues, reggae, Serbian pop, Polka, ska, New Orleans 2nd line, and extreme punk.......even post-bop organ trio....... I'm a well-rounded player and can't really be pigeon-holed into any one style, though most calls lately are from local punk rockers. I'm not at all concerned with hipsters, scene-makers, trustafarians, or garage-rock narcissists. I play music, not art, fashion or anti-fashion. I'm not marketing any products, agendae, or trends.....I'm just looking for opportunities to play my drums.I have a musical past that includes triumphs and failures, some involving a Stooge and a Ramone, and many missed opportunities for stardom. I was in the original release lineup of alleged industrial legends Shock Therapy.... and have over the years played with a Revolting Cocks and Ministry guitarist, Ron Asheton from The Stooges, Tony "Strat" Thomas from Parliament Funkadelic, Duane Denison from Jesus Lizard, Joey Mazzola from Sponge, Rick Sims from Didjits and Gaza Strippers, Jim Gray from The Exploited, Kenny Olson from Kid Rock, Bullcock, Big Muff, Murder Style, Charm Farm, Bill's Corpse, Danse Macabre, Pub Life, Country Bob and The Bloodfarmers, Bomb Pops, Bisou Bisou, and a kajillion others........maybe I'll play for you if the terms are right.Hit me upTouring and travel are definitely possible if the right opportunity arises.I learn fast, can read, and have no felony convictions......drug-free since birth also.Have drums, will travel...............
