Everything else comes second." --me **** --I live in Atlanta - I'm good at drums - I'm looking for work-- [] The Pink Stones [] Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band [] Little Gold [] Deep State [] brothers [] Hans Darkbolt [] Hello Lefty []

Georgia native based in Atlanta. I've been playing drums in bands for the last 2 decades. My credo is the music always comes first, egos go last. Drums and percussion are an enhancement to music; like finishing salt sprinkled on a perfectly seared steak (or toasted grilled cheese😉).

I've been told I bring a high level of musicality to my playing, which I believe is due to my classical/concert percussion training and background. I have experience playing many genre's of music from punk and hardcore to country, jazz, and world rhythm.

I have decades of session and live performance experience. I've tracked drums and percussion for 12 albums/eps. I've toured in Europe and the US extensively. I'm comfortable in any performance environment from DIY basements to large festival stages. Dubbed a "road dog" by Flagpole magazine in 2019.
