Make my funk the P-funk. I want my funk uncut.

About Me

I am interested in sound. The exploration, exploitation, and the preservation of all things "sound". I am the drummer/percussionist for The Global Test. I love my band and more importantly, I love our van!!!!... and our music. It is amazing to see years of work and bad music culminate into a dilectable morsel of everlasting rock. I am also very interested in extending my services to those not fortunate enough to have a steady backbone in their musical endeavors. I have been a studio musician for quite a while, and have devoted much effort through school, money, and hard work to my art and I am serious about what I do. I have been ordained by the Rock Gods to spread the word through a good ole' fashioned rockin'! If you have a project that you feel lacks that certain something mexican, feel free to contact me. I have recorded with some amazing musicians lately, and am proud to put my name on their tracks and show them to you!
