About Me

love in a vacuum
did you get what you wanted?
Hello! I've been playing drums & percussion professionally for quite a while, however, the two cover bands that I've been playing with the last few years have stopped gigging. I've recently picked up a few spare gigs with my buddies NERVOUS REX in Houston & possibly will do a few more in the Dallas area. I'm also currently recording a new original project for 2008! My favorite kind of stuff to play is like a party rock band, featuring a touch of "new wave" styles. To see a list of songs I've been working with the last few years, click my cover song list. I wrote, produced, & recorded my first solo CD in 2000 called "Maybe - plan b" and I have some more songs that I hope to record this year as well, maybe later... To see a brief history & bio on me, along with some amusing pictures of me in other bands over the years, check out my other page at rodyhillman.com
