I am an experienced jazz drummer. I am proficient in most styles and feels including swing, Afro-Cuban, Afro-Brazilian and funk. I played about 150 gigs on drums last year. Equally proficient with jazz brushes or sticks. I went to Berklee College of music in Boston and have two degrees in music. I know how to read drum charts and real book charts and I am familiar with most jazz standards and other repertoire. I will not play too loudly, will not play too busy and will not get lost on the form. I have my own transportation, I don’t drink much or smoke anything, I will come dressed in a suit or other appropriate attire, I will be early to the gig and not take up too much space on stage. Also, I will not offend the owner or staff at the venue or play my instrument in-between songs or during the set breaks. In short, I will be a professional and complement the other musicians to bring out their best playing
