Back porch old time fiddle player. The dogs don’t run away near as much they did a few years ago when I started.

I'm just an old worn out drummer without a kit so I'm of no use to you.

Let's hear some of your pickin'!

Original tune

 

[GnometownHero]

As a drummer I always appreciated help from a percussionist, or two. That is if they could keep time.

It especially helps when doing cover tunes that have two drummers, and a whole percussion section, and everyone expects one single drummer to do it all at the same time.

What I like best about Jam bands, Allman Brothers, Widespread Panic and many others all have a great percussion team

I play a very little bit on keys. Even less on guitar. I'm decent on drums and really good at the congas (and willing to play other auxiliary and hand percussion.) Unfortunately congas, even though they are quite prevalent in a LOT of music and just about every major touring act that isn't hard rock or metal has a percussion section it's largely overlooked at the local gig level. Probably seen as just another mouth to feed when it comes to divvying up the gig money.

Anyway, if you get at least some drums, bass and guitar together I'd love to come sprinkle some extra percussion on top. I'm in Tulsa but I'd drive a bit for an occasional jam or for a rehearsal if it was for a gig.

Let me know!

I've been told I have very good meter. I consider the drummer the "lead" and always follow nicely but have done several gigs where me on congas was the only percussionist. It adds so much to songs that I can't believe more people don't seek it out for their band projects.

Yes, and Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan and just about any similar band from the 70's into the 80's. But also country, pop/rock. You name it. Even the SNL Band has a huge percussion section.

Let me know. I can typically join in just fine without a rehearsal but am happy to attend one if desired, especially since you don't know my skill level.
