About Me


The original MySpace Map! Click here to make your own!I'm a freelance drummer, also making my own music. These songs I've put up on this site ain't all ready for CD, but I enjoyed making them and recording them. I use my computer when I record, but all the sounds you hear are played or sung by me. No programming. When I come up with more songs and get more experience, I may take these songs into a real studio with a bunch of friends...In between gigging with different bands as a drummer, I play on my guitars and try to get out the music that's inside my head. Hope you like it!
