of The Groooove Doctor!!
My
friends call me 'DJ' or 'Doc'...
I've been a professional musician (drummer) since I was 15 - starting off in pit
orchestras which led to my first band - a dixieland sextet, followed
by a blur of rock bands, jazz trios, big bands,
In 2004, after years of traveling and full time performing, I settled into married life and a regular job though I still take a lot of pick up gigs and studio work to keep sharp. And I'm always on the lookout for the next big project I can immerse myself into. Check the ticker above or click on 'I Just Want To Bang On My Drum' for upcoming play dates.
By day I'm the Micro Computer Specialist for the Greenwich Central School District. In my spare time I dabble in producing, arranging, composing, sequencing, recording, desktop publishing, databases, spreadsheets and website design...
...and then there's the family of course!!
The CD mixing and mastering of TomiJo's now 21 song demo CD is going well... We released about 40 copies right before the Holidays!! Next up is getting her website online and some live band experience...
FYI... I take a tremendous amount of pride in the presentation and performance of both myself and any group I'm involved with. My time in the drums corps activity means I know what it takes to be prepared, polished and professional (in drum corps it means you put in a few thousand hours of rehearsal for 11 minutes on 'stage'!!)
