CREATIVE RHYTHMATIST
ROCK | PROGRESSIVE ROCK | JAZZ | FUSION | FUNK
With 30+ years of playing and recording experience in Los Angeles and beyond, I've developed a rich vocabulary of creative rhythms, including deep pocket grooves, driving backbeats, tasteful jazz/funk playing and more. If you're looking for a top-flight, click-friendly drummer who is completely comfortable in any time signature and can quickly come up to speed to propel your project forward, be sure to reach out.
