About Me

Drummer of the last quarter century having played everything from Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Alternative Rock, Funk, Jazz, Blues, marching/field drumming and anything that will let me strike a drum. I have played in the club circuits of Baltimore, Washington D.C. Annapolis, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Santa Cruz, LA, San Fransisco, San Jose and now Phoenix. I have played for Boon Fudge, Havoc, Madd Hatter, Kayos, Mocking bird, Juice, Triad, Tina Bailey, Cold Shott and the Hurricane Horns, Black Rain, and currently with the Angry Jon band. I have played many sit in sessions as well as recorded in studio and live situations. Always looking for new musicians and current mind to groove with and improve upon my bag of chops and tricks.

My Interests

I make music, I work, I play, I sleep and I eat only because I have to.

I'd like to meet:

More musicians and situations that can improve upon my career as a drummer and fellow band mate. Professional situations only please. Garage bands and "jamming for fun" oppurtunities are not what I am looking for at this stage in the game.

Music:

All styles of music turn me on except country and hip hop or rap.

Movies:

Any Monty Python flick will do. God Father I or II (III does not count). War flicks if done correctly. Rocky Horror is a favorite of mine, all the Lord of the Ring movies and Gladiator is cool too. Let us not forget the Good...the bad...and the ugly.

Television:

I have no time for it. Kill your television.

Books:

Complete works of Edgar Allen Poe, On the road, Heart of Darkness, Red Badge of Courage, Dracula, Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, Nostradamus, The Secret Melody, Super Strings, A Brief History of Time, Principals of the Universe, the Iliad, Walden, Dr, Jykle and Mr. Hyde, The Future of Spacetime, The Elegant Universe, A Tale of Two Cities, Alice in Wonderland, Moby Dick, Frankenstien, Crime and Punishiment, The Republic, Websters Dictionary, Bagavad Gita, and the Last of this Mohicans to name a few that I can remember anyway...
