PRO DRUMMER SEEKING PROJECT

Oakland CA

Description

Hello, My name is Chris and I am a Modern Drummer / Percussionist looking for a new permanent project, or a band that needs a sub drummer, or studio session work (PAID GIGS ONLY). I have worked all over the bay area, have done several tours of the west coast, and I am no stranger to commuting for the right project. 37 years old with 20+ years of experience in the following Genres (In Alphabetical Order): 80's Big Hair Rock 90's Rock Alternative Alternative Ambient Big Band Blues Broadway Musical Classic Rock Country Dixieland Dub Electronica Funk Fusion Garage Gospel Goth Grunge Hard Rock Hip Hop Industrial Jam Jazz (In Many Numerous Styles) Latin Jazz Marching Metal (In Many Numerous Styles) Orchestral Pop Progressive Psychobilly Reggae Rock (50's, 60's and 70's) Rockabilly Singer/Songwriter Ska Symphonic Techno Western + Many More Hired for my ear and musicianship for the last decade, I have been the "Go-To Guy" and Hired Gun filling in for bands of numerous Genres all over the West Coast. I have my own equipment including Microphones, Stands, and Preamps dialed into my needs and liking with the quickest set up and tear down imaginable which makes me a self sufficient asset on stage. I work with a 5-8 Piece drum kit (6'x 6' foot print), Double (or single) Kick Pedal, and plenty of cymbals to keep things fresh -- I don't mind slimming the kit down to a the bare essentials if that is what is desired (4'x 4.5' footprint). Or even just come with a snare drum (which I can make sound like many). I can read drum charts, Lead Charts, Scores, and can adapt and improvise to any style or Time Signature. I am here for your needs. I am the "Groove while being in the pocket" with consistency type of drummer, but can be the out front solo drummer as well, I am very versatile. I also sing background vocals in a wide range but mostly baritone and I have internal vocals effects! I am a relaxed, calm person that is easy to get along with and very professional at all times. Be it a Suit & Tie with a Derby, or Jeans & T with the hair down -- I will show up however is requested. Thank you for your time.
