leisurekidz 57 years old male Portland, ME member since 2019
I play drums. I am also a chef. I started out wanting to be a drummer in an original band making music for a living. I have also dealt with life: marriage, separation, divorce, raising a brilliant young man to the age of 18. Im ready to get back to playing drums in a collaborative, creative environment that includes: covers, originals. I am ok with startups with potential. I am also interested in projects with potential to earn some decent side money. I have steeped away from kitchen management to refocus on my original goals of making a living as a drummer. I attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston for 2 years from 85-87. I have over 40 years of playing experience. This includes school bands, public performances with school bands, live performances in clubs, small theaters, outdoor festivals, private events, and touring the west, and east coasts. I have extensive studio experience as well. I have direct experience in bands that have played semi pro over the years: thrash/funk, hard rock, acid jazz, power pop, punk, alt folk, blues, funk, soul/rhythm and blues, acoustic. Originals and covers.
