He has great passion and for sure has talent. The only thing I might be picky about, is a little bit more style within his playing. Hes great, but the different textures within a song and tinkers here and there benefit alot towards the overall development to the song. Being a jazz drummer and taught by many big jazz band drummers, style is a thing that takes years to fully understand and do.
This dude has talent and alot of confidence in his playing, you'll go places dude =]
This guy is funny he would fit right in with Addison Road. And your an awesome drummer I recognized you from your old band I have been to a few of your shows. When you get the job you should have them come through the Boise area more often...
Continued.. He plays with excitement and brings energy to what he is playing. Behind the scenes, Fred is a happy guy, hes very encouraging, easy to get along with, and is very professional when working with the public. His sense of humor is so diverse! Ive never seen him do the lizard but I cracked myself up. He does a great impression of a praying mantis eating as well. I could go on and on but the one thing you ought to do is find out for yourself. Fred has my vote. Thanks
I have had the privilege of working with Fred for his landscaping business. There were numerous of times when Fred would start earlier than normal and then go to band practice after work or play a show until late at night, then getting up early the next morning and going to work. There is no doubt that this man has the dedication and the confidence it takes to be in a Christian band. I think everyone has nailed it on how Fred plays.
It's ridiculous how smooth Fred is on the drum's... like it's an art... he has a true love for playing... and when he plays a show, his interaction with the audience is awesome... I've never seen a drummer that does that... and he is a TRUE performer.... it seems to come so easy for him. He is super fun and so easy to be around... You have definitely got to meet him in person!
I've had the privelege of playing music with Fred for the past 10 years. I've played with other drummers and they just don't match Fred's feel for music - despite being good drummers. There's an amazing energy that comes from his playing that I can't describe - he's just rock solid and I'm very confident in his playing. He interacts with the audience in a way I've never seen any other drummer do - even in huge named bands. He is definiltey worth your attention and time to audition in person.
CONTINUED! S0we asked him if he would mind playing for me and he said,"We just want to make your dreams come true."It wasnt about him at all he gave up a lot of time for me!He will not only blow your soxs off he will also be extremely easy to work with and super fun to be around!I VOTE FRED!
WOW!THIS GUY IS AMAZING!Not only is he amazing at drumming but he is such a humble guy!He works on any project he can not only for himself but to help others.I am a 15 year old girl with a huge dreamand love to sing and I was looking for a drummer for my demo and heplayed/plays at my church and I was like hes great!
Fred is the best drummer that I have had the privilage of doing sound for. He is verry tallented and can handle anything you throw at him. Not only that he is a great fun guy all around. GO FRED!!!!!!!
I have had the privilege of watching Fred worship on the drums at church for a few years. It literally makes me HAPPY to see him play with such raw talent and skill each week. The way he plays embodies worship and praise... does that make sense?- because that is what it looks like. He is definitely worthy of this opportunity and is prepared. As you can see he is quite animated and personable as well, which can only help the AR team. Very polished, yet very at home and in his element. GO FRED!
Nice. Loved how you couldn't help but smile every time you looked at the camera on the first song. haha. You need a vaulted ceiling for your stick throws again. Well done. Hope for the best. You need a good band so you won't stick out like an amazingly skilled sore thumb.
No, they chose to keep the drummer that was filling in.
