Drums
I've been playing drums for over 25 years, mostly metal. I have lots of experience with playing live and recording, but haven't done any of it in a long time. I don't have a place to jam, my acoustic kit is in my GF's garage all the way up by Wisconsin (I have an electric kit, but need some cords and a monitor to get it working(which I'm going to do regardless, I just need a fire lit under my a***** and I'm not sure how serious I can really be about being in a band, but I'm willing to give it a shot. I honestly forgot I was on this page until I got a message, so I decided to update my profile. I've been entertaining the idea of starting a 90s rock/grunge/alternative cover band lately, which would definitely be easier than writing songs time-wise, so I'm down to talk about what I had in mind for that for sure.

Ideally I would fit best with a trio/quartet singing jazz standards. I'm a big Nina Simone and Frank Sinatra fan and would love to sing covers of their tunes in a performative or living room setting. Mainly I would just love to gather around a piano with fellow musicians and enjoy the process without being too goal-oriented. It would be great to play out, of course, but for me it is about the process -- it is about the music.
