A mix of the traditional to the unconventional. Solid, tasty, unique and in the pocket.
I've been working as a professional musician (drummer / percussionist) for over 27 years now. Spent a large part of my career throughout the state of Texas; moved from Dallas to Nashville in 2001. Besides working as a studio drummer / percussionist and playing out live, I'm also an active music producer, composer, arranger, musical director, freelance writer, music educator, clinician and private drum / percussion instructor.
Throughout my career I've been fortunate to have worked with a lot of great musicians in a wide variety of music genres. A sample list includes Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Sam Moore (Sam & Dave), Ernie Watts, Warren Sneed, Eddie Daniels (at Carnegie Hall), Clark Terry, LaDonna Gatlin, Tammy Cochran, Billy Falcon, Twila Paris, Carman, Kim Hill, Matthew Ward, Alex Acuna, Sheila E., Luis Conte, Vinnie Colaiuta, Paul Leim and others.

It was nice to seed you again at the Chicago Drum Show! I can't wait to see the footage you shot! I hope to see you at the Southern Drum show in July! Rock on~Kat
Spent a little while on your page for a peek and a listen, Bart! Wow, you and your music are dynamite! Thanks for adding me to your list of friends! The honor is all mine! Stop by for a visit anytime. Here's wishing you and yours sunshine and laughter! God bless, Donita :o)
Thanks for checking in and your very sweet words. I hope you and your fam. are doing great. I've only been doing corporate gigs with Chuck- my guitarist since January. In these times, it's definitely stripped down and unplug! Reed and I have written 5 songs we really like. Hopefully, we'll get them on video/audio soon, so you and everyone else can start hearing them. Once we get enough, I wanna get you and Nathan and do a singer/songwriter set to see the if people like the material.
