Objectives/Availability
My past experience
best equips me for dance-oriented material, but I can rock if necessary.
I have no trouble playing to clicks, loops, or sequencing live. I have
never missed or been late to a rehearsal or live performance. I do NOT
sing unfortunately.
I'm looking for work in the following types of projects:
1. Permanent drummer for part-time wedding/corporate
band. Have suit, will travel. Part time for me means two gigs per
week, weekends preferable. This type of project is my top priority.
2. Fill in drummer for any project. Extra points if the majority
of your set is on my list of previously played songs. The kit leaves
my house for $120 plus.
3. Permanent drummer for your cover band, rock or dance. Again,
part time schedules are key. I've played 4 nights a week and I just
can't hack it with a full time day job. Someone once told me not
to quit my day job and I think it's good advice. No jam bands EVER.
4. Permanent drummer for your interesting original project. Send
me an MP3 or your Myspace page.

I live near New Brunswick, NJ (by Rutgers campus) so keep it in
mind for distance.

My primary kit is honey
gold stained 2001 TAMA Starclassic Maple in fusion sizes (22" kick,
