My name is Adam Wheeler and I am a multi-instrumentalist and have performed as a drummer, vocalist, keyboardist, and percussionist. I've had experiences in jazz, rock, funk, pop, theater, orchestral, and marching percussion in live and studio settings. In addition to performing live, I teach drums. I have been very lucky to have met and worked with some of the greatest musicians around this area, and I am always looking to meet other aspiring musicians. I am involved in some really excellent projects currently, and I am doing some freelancing as well. I love it all.
Thank you for the add and friendship. Hope you enjoyed listening to our music. Please feel free to stalk us at : www.twitter.com/bjmadisonband . Keep the music alive!
I was told TWICE from two different people this week that they checked out your profile in my top 8 and that they were blown away about how good you are. I told them both that yes, indeed you are an amazing drummer, but a total d-bag.
I heard Genesis's album Fox Trot for the first time this week and I heard your early influence all over that album. Hope all is well, brotha! ("Kaa!" -Swedish automotive engineering)

Ever since James Brown has passed on (bless his soul, which he happens to be the godfather of) they have been looking for a new "hardest working man in show business"...after seeing your schedule, I think I found him!
