ABOUT
My passion for music and drumming are rooted from the explosive and innovative eras of the '60s & '70s. I was born and raised in New Haven, CT. with New York City being but a stones throw away from seeing any great artist perform any night of the week. NYC was fertile ground in all genres of music and inspiration.
From my very first garage band, I knew what I was destined to do. After high school I continued my journey studying music and mallet percussion at The University of Bridgeport, Ct., where I earned a B.S. in Music Education. The teaching certificate was an accomplishment, but my burning desire was still undeniably the excitement of being a performer.
Making a living playing music started to become more of a reality when I landed a gig with a band from my home town of New Haven CT. which hailed NY radio station WNBC's number one voted rock and roll doo-wop hit of all time for decades. The 5 Satins hit song "Still of the Night" enabled me to work in a circuit in New York City where I met, performed and toured with other luminaries as Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, The Drifters, The Coasters, Joey Dee & The Starliters and many others. These revival shows and concerts were invaluable experiences where I cut my teeth on stages and venues such as Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, The Beacon Theater, The Flagstar at Woodbury Music Fair just to name a few. As it happened, the doors of opportunity opened for me to travel and tour as a performing musician around the country and parts of the world. My dreams manifested.
Currently I am living and working in the entertainment mecca of Los Angeles CA. I am a freelance drummer and available for live performance, touring, studio sessions, music production, mixing and recording as well as private lessons from my home studio here in North Hollywood, CA.
Some recent production highlights to my credit which can be heard on the above Mixing & Production page include:
* Doug Lunn Project featuring Vinnie Colaiuta, Mike Keneally, Peter Manu which I
co-produced, mixed and played mallets.
* Zenland’s Landzend release distributed by Sony Music with full mixing credit.
* Michael Zentner's upcoming project release Sayonara featuring Tony Levin on bass and myself on drums.
