About Me

I've been touring the world for the last 6 years with the reformed, legendary band "The Doors" (now called Ray Manzarek & Robby Krieger of The Doors) with Brett Scallions (formerly of Fuel) on vocals, Phil Chen on bass, and myself on drums. Ian Astbury (The Cult) was the front man from 2002-7. I've played on over 50 records in my career covering almost every style you can think of! I also play with the great band "Fire Bug" (below in the top 8). Any artists out there who need a great drummer for recording, tours, shows?? Let me know--(I am based out of Los Angeles.) Need great drum tracks without spending BIG studio money?? I can work with you...I have my own studio with a nice sounding Pro-Tools set up where I offer killer drum tracks. Also, if you're in the L.A area, I give private lessons as well. Check out my website www.tydennis.com to check out lots more music, pics, and other stuff. A partial list of some of the artists I've played and/or recorded with: The Doors, The Motels, Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek, Ian Astbury, Firebug, Elephant Ride, Martha Davis, Gene Loves Jezebel...and lots more. Endorsements: DW drums, Bosphorus cymbals, Vic Firth sticks, Attack drum heads
