Five years full orchestra percussion and drums, followed by 10 years jazz and blues drums, followed by 10 years '50's-'60's rock and roll drums, and leading out with 10 years hard rock/heavy metal drums. These days I play mainly Iron Maiden, Metallica, Ozzy, Sabbath, Motorhead, Pantera, Megadeth, Judas Priest, Tool, Foo Fighters, Zeppelin, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots.. basically anything progressive with hard crunch, fat tone and heavy volume. I play about two shows a month and rehearse four times a month. I play an 8-piece late '80's Pearl kit.
