I'm just a guy who plays drums.
I'm Vinnie. I play the drums, if youre looking for a drummer, I'm right here. I have experience playing with churches. I specialize in Rock, Metal and Worship music. My inspirations are drummers like Mike Portnoy and The Rev. I'm no where near as good as them, though. Hire me if you want a very chill drummer who's down to play pretty much anything.
