About me:
The Following is a manifesto
or mission statement of sorts
detailing my disposition and skills
for your review and consideration...
I play drums
I play with a natural feel and rhythmical spirit in my drumming like no other you've ever heard, from the heaviest bonham-style groove, to the most delicate, subtle, dynamic expression. I play exactly what the music tells me to play and take my cues from the sounds I hear.
I don't really have a plan or agenda about where I'm going musically.
I love to play perform and record.
I listen to everything going on around me at all times.
I have great ears and play extremely intuitively.
I am friendly, kind and 100% professional.
I play directly from the heart soul and spirit, not from the mind or ego.
I don't like to plan, rehearse or be told what to play...
unless you are telling me with your instrument!
I've been playing drums and listening to the greats since I was a little kid of 3 years old, and if I don't know what to do for the song by now it just isn't meant to be. I realize that there are circumstances sometimes when it is truly neccesary to tell me in words what to play. The obvious downside to this scenario is that I have to use my mind to do it rather than playing what comes naturally straight from my heart and soul, and I lose inspiration and interest very quickly at that point.
I want people to understand how to get the most out of me as a creative force, in any artistic endeavor we may embark on together. What I play depends on what I hear and how it makes me feel.
Spontanaeity, inspiration and creativity rule my world!!
Here is a description of my 2 very special hand fabricated drum sets..
The first is specialized for
studio recordings only.
It is a 1970 slingerland kit that I
completely custom restored myself from the bare shells up.
I modernized it by filling all the hardware holes in the shells and
discarding all the mounting brackets, legs and spurs that were
bolted onto to the shells. I then sent the shells out to Ross Garfield,
founder of Drum Doctors, who custom precision cut the bearing edges for me.
Finally I suspended all the drums from a
custom aluminum tube rack that I built from scratch with a
spiderweb style cradle of bungee cord for each drum.
There is NO hardware whatsoever touching these shells and even
the kickdrum is suspended a half inch off the floor.
The drums are now free to resonate in their natural frequency
without the dampening effect of all the steel hardware bolted
onto them.
They now sing out their true musical tone with a sustain that is
unmatched by any other drumset I have ever heard or played.
This kit is for recording only.
The Second is my own recreation and exact replica of the legendary 1973
Ludwig amber vistalite set that John Bonham played at Madison
Square Gardens for the Led Zeppelin feature film "The Song
Remains the Same"
Legendary Led Zepplin drummer John Bonham chose this drum set
for a reason... and so did I.
This kit is without a doubt the loudest drum set in the history
of rock and roll, but at the same time it can be instantly
dropped in volume and intensity to a whisper under the touch of
a skilled dynamic hand.
It includes a 26" kick drum, supra-phonic crome snare, 14" rack
tom, plus 16"and 18" floor toms.
All the cymbals were specially ordered from the paiste
Switzerland main fabrication house for me by Andrew Shreve at
Paiste with the exact dimensions and thicknesses of the original
bonham line up incl. the original silkscreen outline logos.
I also have a wide range of custom snare drums and a vintage Zildjian cymbal selection.
Plus a huge selection of hand drums.
Listen to a WMP song stream with over
100 EXAMPLES!
ranging from classic rock/folk and outlaw country
to brutally aggressive double kick metal, funk
hip hop, rap and electronic/organic/acoustic hybrids.
These are all internet collaborations
which I recorded my acoustic drums on
produced, did sub bass, mixed/mastered
and even co-wrote in some cases
for wonderful artists all over the world..
all done right over the internet!!!
Windows Media Player stream provided by;
Sony Pictures Digital and AcidPlanet.
