About Me

Header Banner Made with MyBannerMaker.com! Click here to make your own! My name is Z and I'm a professional drummer from the Cleveland,Ohio area. I currently perform with the 70s touring retro-supergroup DISCO INFERNO under comic stage name Funky A. Groovilini (F.A.G.). Since the age of 13; I have performed in front of audiences doing what I enjoy the most- Playing Drums. This page is a little background info on me.
Even though I have one of the greatest cover gigs in the world; I'm always entertaining ideas of recording projects and tours. I have mastered playing to a click track and learn songs quickly. I can sing backup vox and know thousands of songs already. If you need a visual and energetic hard hitting drummer with a groove. Contact me. Only serious inquiries please.
Special Thanks to:
Dale Flanigan from Fortune Drums for the custom drums (the Z series) I currently play. He specifically designed these for me and his craftmanship is superior. www.FortuneDrums.com
Luke and all the staff at Universal Percussion for my ATTACK Drumheads. http://www.universalpercussion.com/attackmain.html
Jim Simonian from Grover Percussion and Silverfox Drumsticks for my "Z" signature sticks. These are the most durable and best drum sticks I ever played! Check them out at http://www.silverfoxpercussion.com/
JT from Trick Percussion for my current Snare and Pedal. These guys design the coolest gear. www.trickpercussion.com
And thanks to Bobby Boos from Sabian for the best cymbals in the world. www.sabian.com

Band Members: I'm not a big fan of MySpace listing of multiple pages of friends. I'm using this as a self promotional and networking tool. Most of my friends are musicians that I personally know or have worked with in the past.

Also, I include professionals that also work with the same people in the music industry that I do. So please don't be offended if I deny a friendship listing.
