Drummer with variegated (yes, I do use the English language) experience from plain old rock to fusion and jazz. My personal preference is progressive rock with influences like Rush, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Return to Forever, Zappa, e.g. I have played with all kinds of bands from variety to punk, and of course the obligatory orchestral things in high school and college. Currently seeking to branch out and challenge myself with forming a progressive jam band to stretch out not only my own but other player's skill sets. I do some writing and recording but only as far as my limited keyboard skills will permit. What I'm saying here is I'd like to find some local cats who'd like to put together a progressive rock/ semi-metal session in my studio to see what develops. Currently playing DW and Pearl kits, also have a Roland V-Drums rig; I do have a full PA system and recording gear if needed.

Playing drums for a band called Killer Moose that plays clubs in the Pittsburgh, PA area. Due to the economic downturn, we're a little slow at the moment, so I'm starting a project I always wanted to do, which is find some musicians who are into the progressive stuff I'm into and see if something terrific will happen....Wish me luck and email me if you're interested!!
