Drummer available for Asheville, touring, or virtual projects

Description

Hello! My name is James, and I am a 36-year old drummer with 29+ years of experience! I have a diverse background, musically, and I love almost any genre of music that really showcases talent and skill. I have marched with a nationally competitive drumline and band program, so you know my timing and technique are TIGHT. I have also played jazz, blues, rock, metal, progressive, and more. Here is a video of me working on a current project: https://youtu.be/GNZjy7pn4Eo It is a somewhat sloppy rehearsal video, so forgive the mistakes, sound quality, etc. I was just recording a random playthrough of the drum part I had just finished writing for a client. Although this video may not represent a musical style you are looking for, I assure you, I am very flexible and am skilled enough to play any style. Hopefully this video gives you a chance to see my technique, timing, and setup. I live in Asheville, NC, and I don't think that will change. However, I am available for travel, touring, session work in the studio, or virtual work remotely. I am currently working on my recording setup so that I can produce professional sounding tracks from right here at home. My goal is to transition from therapist to full-time drummer by the end of 2021. I hope you'll take a moment to consider me as an option for your project(s). Cheers!
