You may know me from behind the glass more but that doesnt matter - I want to connect with players; guitarists , bass players and keys for jazz that is fusion angled . Im also a prog guy of the past but not bent on playing all over music . Ive never found anyone that can jam Pat Metheny to Allan Holdsworth. Its the soundscapes and inspiring feels Theres this thing called enjoying playing music , you may recall this from when you started long ago. Im back playing after just engineering and producing for so long . The recent fires made me stop and aim for the thing that gives me the most life . Im kind of done making music for people as a ghost thats unfulfilling, wrecking my neck and back to edit . Im missing the communication and listening , the interplay with a backdrop of amazingly beautiful chord progressions . Thick chords , singable melodies and supporting soloists . Im also not inspired to play like all the battle drumming that plays unmusical linear straight chops in the middle of your lovely ideas . Because I make them too . After being on the planet for some time now, I have less time for blowing minds and more for enriching them . Sharing . Let me rehab you back to what you were born to do . You cant buy that feeling .

Musical Influences & Inspiration

As a drummer Ive been influenced by the smoothest and the tastiest in jazz and rock from the 90s fusion guys , to the old school pop Motown , jazz and rock guys like anyone . I dont need to blow chops but they are there , I dont like leading drummers now . In funk from Herbie H , TOPower and stickiest funk . Pat Metheny To Allan Holdsworth in improvisation. All the greats and I dont pretend to be one of them . In fact sometimes Im gonna play The Weekend album for days straight or some old Rush album . Doesnt matter . I could go on through so many areas of vocal music to easy Indian classical .
