About Me

I started drumming around the age of 5 or 6, my father was a local Jazz drummer in the 60's and that's how I got my start. Through the years I have been studying theory, rudiments, time and feel. Currently I am on a Southern Ontario Tour with the local David Fraser of Cavan (myspace.com/cavanband), he's great check out the Upcoming Shows section for dates. Also working for a local Italian/English Dance band out of Amherstburg, we play the local Italian Circuit (Verdi, Fogolar, Cicaro etc). I work hard on the drums, always have, always will. Whatever the music calls for, I'll do it and if I can't I will learn too. I am very easy to work with and open-minded. I play all sorts of Jazz (Swing Be-bop, Contemporar etc) Funk, Rock and Latin etc. Currently using DW Drums and PDP Drums, Zildjian Cymbals, Vic Firth Sticks and Remo Drum-heads. If you need an on call drummer (live or studio) please feel free to give me a shout. mspobj enableJSURL="false" enableHREF="false" saveEmbedTags="true" allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal" height="320" width="426"
