"The Workingist Drummer in NYC"-Spero of Northern State.
After 8 years of steady gigging and recording, and the tutalege of renowned drummer Adam Deitch (Johns Scofield, Wycleff Jean, Lauren Hill), Seth has evolved into a true New York City drummer who has a unique sound in any musical environment. These days Seth splits his time between gigs with Hesta Prynn and Kenan Bell, freelance gigs, DJing, and session work with renowned producers Chuck Brody (Northern State, Wu-Tang Clan,Bear Hands, Tigercity, American Princes) and Roger Greenawalt (The Pierces, Julian Velard, Ben Kweller) among others.
Cheers!

Last year around this time I asked you if you wanted to help me with a drumming project.....I live in Astoria now and was wondering if you still had a space to jam/record? I would pay you for your time.
Greetings. I just wanted to thank you for your continued support and invite you to have a first listen on myspace to the tracks off the new EP "Monster & Minstrel" due out later this month. Bright stars to you! Ahmond
