SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Trumpet, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano, Background Singer, Harmonica, Trombone.ABOUT
I am looking to join a Tribute show with regular work, or am readily available for any band needing a 'fill-in' drummer.
I am an experienced professional drummer with an unfeigned passion for music, performance and having a great time doing it.
For me, every job is an important one; and my attention to detail and enthusiasm is all part of a natural dedication to providing the best possible performance.
Whether it's in the studio or a live performance, my first priority is to serve the song. Playing only what needs to be played, creating and maintining a solid foundation, and leaving space for the other musicians. I like to create the right feel and groove. Playing right there in the pocket.
In my professional approach, every gig (big or small) deserves the best that you can give. I believe that good communication, preparation and having fun are the keys to a great gig.
I am the kind of person who likes to maintain a professional and humble approach to every job/gig that I do yet also have fun along the way. I am happy to take instruction but also confident enough to serve the music and provide my own creative input when required. Over the years, I have learned to 'know my place' as a drummer, play to the size of the room, be considerate of both musician and audience and provide the foundational groove that everyone is looking for.
Thanks for reading and please feel free to contact me for more information or just to chat.
