About Me

I play drums for the band The Prime Ministers. They are a Pop-Rock Indie band that hals from Detroit, Michigan. With all the Indie buzz bands from the area, The Prime Ministers come from the same circle of friends that now flood the radio. The 07 CD Release "EFFICIENTLY YOURS" is due out in the fall was recorded at Effigy Studios and produced by Rich Hunt. The cd was mastered by Phil D who did Sloans last album from Toronto. The drums I used on the recordings were 65 Ludwigs with a 64 superphonic snare and all Zildjian cymbals. We recorded the tracks LIVE in the same fashion as the 60's rock giants the Beatles and Zed Zeppelin in a great large room full of mics.******************************************************* ********* *Check out our myspace page and web page for shows, tour, and news on the band:www.myspace.com/theprimeministermusic and www.theprimeminister.com************************************ *****************************I'am a pretty busy guy drumming around town, going to Polka gigs: Johnny Andrews Band (just kidding), rockin my 65 Ludwig kit and three other drum sets. If I have spare time I watch old cartoons, restore a very, very, very old vintage drum kit, drink FAYGO red pop and eat lots of Cheetos. I play Ludwig drums, Zildjian cymbals, DW pedals and Yamaha stands, Vic Firth sticks and Remo drum heads.
