Sounds Like
What does my playing sound like?
Someone falling down the stairs?
Tennis shoes in a dryer?
Someone falling down the stairs and landing in the very dryer that was drying the shoes that may or may not have been used for tennis, but probably not for tennis because I'm a drummer, and the closest I get to tennis is tennis elbow, so not shoes for tennis but maybe running, but the only running I do if for coffee, unless you consider this sentence, because this one is certainly running over, which I hope my coffee does, not physically, but metaphorically, like my cup runneth over, but with a car, but that would for sure give you a flat tire and that makes it hard to get back home to dry your shoes.
Gabe Burdett is a "Drumwhore".
(Definition: Drummer for Hire). www.drumwhore.com
Ever since age 5, when my Grandma bought my first drumset and put wooden spoons in my hands, I've been playing drums. I have had dozens of phases, but I started out playing rock, and do to this day.
Drummer
Currently I am playing with "Satellite". I am booked through the year playing the Coeur D'Alene Resort's "Shore Lounge", Fizzy Mulligan's and Thumpers.
I also have some dates playing with Uncle Lucy at "The Iron Horse". I performed and recorded on several tracks and CD's for my own bands (50fifty and Envy) and have done several sessions recording for various studio projects and demos. If you need a drummer, check to see if the date's available then contact me and we'll set it up.
Drum Instructor
I also am a Drum Instructor at Learn To Burn School Of Music. I have near to a full student load teaching drumset, along with snare and percussion. My approach is very much from playing musically, learning to listen and create the melody available from a drumset, while balancing the counting, structure and technique necessary to recite music, or improvise.
Pixel Artist and Website Designer
I also do graphics and print work, along with Flash animation and Dynamic Database coding. Checkout my website www.GabeBurdett.com to view my work.
