About this user

I am a Christian and full time working drummer playing and teaching in Cleveland Ohio. I play with Butch armstrong and the Bearcats a kickin classic rock blues power trio. I am also a solo drum performer with a show titled" From every tribe and every nation" Playing solo drum music on my large drum kit called the "Mother Ship", utilizing ostonatos and creating rythms from around the world or where ever I find inspiration. This show is also a time of ministering the gospel which is so important in a world that is in need of recieving the love, forgiveness and healing power of our savior Jesus Christ!
Q; Where will you spend eterenity?
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that who so ever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life".

I also play at my home church. Community of Hope In Brecksville Oh. I lead chapel services at Christian schools playing solo drums and giving a gospel message. I teach drums at Stebals drum shop in Willowick Oh. and play with many other artists around Cleveland.
Some of the musical highlights for me have been playing for the men and women in the armed forces over seas twice In a reggae band called Satta. Once in Europe and the second time in Asia. we also toured the states including playing Ancorage Alaska six times for two months at a time. I've also had the privlege of opening up for Dom famularo in a drum group called "Symbiotic Drumming" which featured my self and the great Joe tomino. Playing drums is such a blessing! I feel very grateful that I can experience so much joy playing and am able to share that joy with others.
