What to expect: well you can expect quality drumming, I'm not about being flashy or extra, I like sitting in the pocket having a good time, and grooving. ill add in fills when needed. Don't worry about trying to find a drum kit for me to use I have a good quality kit that I keep nice and clean.
You can expect me to know the songs when I arrive and ill be willing to adjust if anything changes, I'm flexible and easily able to pick up songs last second if needed. you will have no problem trying to contact me if I say I'm doing something I don't back out and I stick to my word
If you are planning an event and need some assistance I don't mind coming early either to help set things up as well, I like to keep things professional when they need to be and have fun when the time is right!
I started playing drums when I was seven and got lessons with my drum instructor Matt. I wasn't the normal drummer I love my practice pad and doing hard rudiments and polyrhythms. I ended up playing on many stages in front of many people at a young age and met very famous people, I took in everything I possibly could and that is why I'm where I'm at today... now I can play basically any genre people throw at me with little to no notice. I am also really good at playing songs by ear I can find the correct key and find the layout of the song
I don't have any certain preferences, it's not the equipment that makes me sound better it's the time and effort I put into my craft... you don't have to worry about anything special I'll sound good with or without fancy lights and staging, it doesn't change how I play
Any genre but I love reggae, ska, and classic rock
My influences are Neil Pert, Ringo Star, Stewart Copeland, Travis Baker, and Phil Collins, Carlton Barret.
As long as i'm not upside down i'm fine
