Drums, Vocals

(aka Dr. Why)

I have been playing drums since the fourth grade, after giving up the accordion. Played with bands in high school, recorded two albums with the band Rainbow Press out of New York City in 1968 and 1969 (check out the history of the band at www.rimpo.de/rainbow.html ) Continued to play for fun with my stereo into my "adult" years. A few years ago decided to play with real live human musicians again and joined up with Mike and Larry and Bluesmatic. This Band is the best.

The equipment I use is mainly my Pearl set, my new Ludwig set and my vintage 1963 Slingerland kit. I still use my 60s Zildjian cymbals with a newer Paiste mixed in.

Drummers who styles I admire through the years: Ginger Baker, Dino Danelli, Keith                                                           Moon and Guy Patterson.
