Drummer and Songwriter. I've drummed my entire life and I started writing songs in college, but really got into it later when I had my own small studio.
Songs above are some of my LIVE, studio drumming and some of my original songs, bare and more finalized demo quality:
TAKE IT FROM ME - Original Demo, I played all instruments, did vocals, lyrics and music, recorded in my studio.
PAISLEY - Demo I wrote, original, (I played guitar and did vocals with drum track), demo in home studio.
MELISSA - Original Demo, I played all instruments, did vocals, lyrics and music, recorded in my studio. Country-folk tune about 'real life'.
BECAUSE (Dave Clark Five cover) - I always liked the DC5, so I recorded this song, I did vocals over a custom music track.
HOMEGROWN HAPPINESS - The Stems EP, song by Phil Bush (guitar!) (I'm drumming) recorded at Kitchen Studios
YESTERDAY'S LOVE - Original Demo, I played all instruments, did vocals, lyrics and music, recorded in my studio. A quick demo, just laid down the basics of the idea of this song.
MORE - The Stems, song written by Phil Bush, also he's on guitar on this track, I'm drumming on this EP. Recorded at Kitchen Studios
FIRST RAIN - The Stems EP, song by Phil Bush (guitar!) (I'm drumming) recorded at Kitchen Studios
BEATLES MEDLEY (Come Together - Instant Karma) - Texas Pearl band LIVE (I'm drumming)
MY LOVER - Original Demo, I played all instruments, did vocals, lyrics and music, recorded in my studio. Just having some good fun with this one!
I was inspired by Todd Rundgren to learn to play all instruments, as well as the complex 'art' of writing songs. His album "Something Anything" was my push to try it myself.
I've been a rock/jazz/studio/ drummer my entire life, but songwriting, playing other instruments and the 'everything' it takes to get demo's ALONE, has been a great experience, a creative outlet for a drummer. Studied drums for my entire life, but mostly self-taught on other instruments. DRUMS are still my foundation, my real passion.
