More------
In the 80's,became interested in Digital percussion & MIDI,since,have stayed on top of the tech,and recorded some very cool stuff !
Concerts,Local Bands,School Clinics,--it's all good!
Now since 2006, I have a Trapkat and a full blown MIDI Rig,so stay tuned-
Be clear-the acoustic drums are my first love,---Digital drums are their own instrument,with a lot of possibilities that acoustics dont provide.
Played with a lot of bands in the Orange County & Brevard area,some original ,Metal,Southern Rock,and Classic Rock,will be starting a New band for 2007 soon,
So stay tuned~~~~~~:)
