My story

  With a musical journey spanning three decades, I’ve been drumming my way through life, much like my father before me. Originally from Memphis, TN, I swapped Elvis's hometown for the sunshine of Orlando. Then five years later I landed in Pompano Beach (Lighthouse Point area). Over these 30 years, I’ve become a genre-hopping maestro with a music catalogue longer than a CVS receipt. Known as a go-to fill-in drummer in Memphis and Orlando, I have references that sing my praises louder than a rock anthem. Given the right material and time, I can learn setlists faster than you can say "Free Bird."


   By day, I’m a proud nine-to-fiver with a job that keeps my pockets full and my drumming a passionate hobby, not a necessity. That said, I absolutely live for playing and love being musically busy. I'm currently on the lookout for a band that can make people dance like they’ve just won the lottery. I’m based in Pompano Beach and willing to drum up a storm in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade areas. Equipped with a killer personality, pro gear, and a P.A. system, I’m as clean as a whistle—no drugs, minimal drinking, and zero ego issues. I’m only as good as the folks I jam with, so let’s make some magic together.


  I’m available for weekend gigs and the occasional weeknight show. I’m drawn to bands that are fun, energetic, and know how to put on a stage show that would make even Mick Jagger jealous. While my pictures might show me in shorts and a t-shirt, don’t be fooled, I can suit up and look sharp for the right gig. If you’re drama-free, have a sunny disposition, and a passion for music, we’re going to get along just fine. Like what you see? Give me a shout and let’s get this show on the road.


  Oh, and I also do acoustic gigs with a cajon setup. I bring the same professional gear to these gigs and am ready to rocket your event to the stars. Whether I’m adding vocals or keeping the rhythm while you rock out on your accordion, pan flute, or whatever tickles your fancy, I’ve got you covered. Check out my promo and pics below to see the setup. And if you need someone to jazz up your gig flyers, I’m that guy too! I’m a graphic designer with a knack for marketing. Whether I’m in your band or not, I can create killer gig flyers for a fee. Let’s make some noise!


Thanks, Brian


Equipment
5 piece Mapex Mars
This kit looks and sounds fantastic
This kit is 5 piece Mapex Mars series kit. I use brand new Yamaha Stands to give it a serious look. This kit makes any gig look professional.
Kit pic
Yamaha EAD10 Drum Module with Mic Pickup
For use as additional or stand alone drum mics
Mic your drums in seconds - attach the EAD10 to any acoustic drum, and you'll have a high-quality stereo image of the entire acoustic kit in seconds. The EAD10 intuitively and instantly transforms acoustic drum sounds with studio-quality digital effects and sampled sounds.

Meinl Arched Cajon with Pedal
The perfect addition to your acoustic gig
Yes I can even (Yacht) rock your acoustic gig. The Meinl arched Cajon has just enough thump for the perfect lower undertone and just enough pop to blend in. I use a pedal for the lower tones which keeps both hands free for other percussive instruments.
Cajon setup
