Great sound, real food, perfect groove.

Wow, did I really put all that in here? Must have been a bad day!

I've been playing since about 1980. My "style", if you could call it that, would be a sort of funky jazz fusion rock-ish kind of thing. I admire drummers like Peter Erskine, Gene Krupa, Neil Peart, Bill Bruford, Rayford Griffin, Andy Newmark, Steve Gadd, Casey Scheurell, Steve Smith, Mike Portnoy, etc, etc.

I have a son who plays bass and shares a lot of my other interests. I also have the best wife in the world!
