TUBBS

About Me

My name is Ian Morlock, but most musician friends call me Tubbs! I am 31 years old and currently live in Boulder, CO. I was born in Virginia and have lived in a few different places in my life. I claim Atlanta, GA. as my home, but I have lived in Colorado for 10 years now, so I guess I would actually call this my home at this point. Music is my life and I have been involved with drumming for 22 years. Most of my background includes marching percussion, symphonic performances, studio sessions, and rock bands. I am well versed in most styles behind the kit; however, Funk, R&B, Blues, and Rock are mostly what I do these days. I have messed around with latin grooves and New Orleans second line beats, but they are not my strong points as of now. My sense of groove and strong kick/snare presence is what people find most admirable about my playing. I pull my influences from all over the map and am always watching the drummer to see what their take on the music is. It's always a learning experience for me.I have a few projects that I work with, including my main band "One Time", which keeps me fairly busy. However, as a musician in a new city, I am also looking for new opportunities to play with great musicians from all genres of musical styles. Boulder has started to show me that there are a lot of great players on the scene, so now it's my time to get involved and show people what I have to offer.
