Playin music on stage is one of the greatest feelings in the world

About Me

Hello all my name is Bobby. I love playing the drums. I've been playing for a few hundred years...my first band was when I was thirteen years old, I'd charge my friends 25 cents to watch us play in my parents basement...things have evolved since those days, playing in cover bands, doing fill in gigs, writing drum parts for original bands, recording and teaching all styles of playing Jazz/Rock/Blues/Marching and yes some Country...I'm on a never ending quest to learn more and play with amazing musicians....I love getting a phone call on a Tuesday night from a frantic guitar player..."hey man I got your name from so and so, our drummer can't make the show this weekend can you fill in"...if I'm not booked with my band the answer is always.."where is the gig, what time shall I be there?".....this has given me the chance to play with some outstanding players and expanded my craft. Now playing with Five Hundred Pound Furnace a whole new adventure begins....Let's blow some walls down!!!
