NRG + Musician in Kingston, ON

SEEKING

ABOUT

Former professional drummer craves new creative contacts. Life is meaningless without live expression.

My playing is solid, powerful, punchy, dynamic, tasteful ...deep grooves, lots of spaces.

No personality/ego trips. Laid back and reliable.

Looking to jam/perform with competent players who can improvise and play what they feel in the PRESENT moment... not just copy a recording of someone else's playing done in the PAST.

Check out my influences. If we're on the same page... let's get started.
