Hello From NY!


Hello,
Brand new to this site. I'm a gigging jazz drummer currently playing in the NY area with some wonderful musicians that include Rahn Burton on keys, Bill Davis and Lester Harper on bass, and others.
I'm having a great time learning and growing with these fine people. I'm interested in equipment- always on the prowl for great used items and new ideas. I believe in 'no paradigms' and experimentation.
Most of all, I belive that the audience picks up on your vibe. Whether you're playing to thousands or dozens, if you are having fun, they will too (as long as you play well!)! No room for sour pusses or holier-than-thou 'tudes!
We should all be here to help each other.

Hello NY from southern WV. I agree on helping each other. I've been playing for a number of years, but I always learn something from all that I watch as they play. I enjoy learning anything new...whether it be playing, tuning or cleaning. I'm not sure how much I have too offer, but I'm always willing too share.

Re: Hello From NY!


Welcome to the forum onthebeat. I like your philosophy too.

I peeked at your list of influences. Jack Dejohnette is my favourite drummer (and of course I like Cobham and the others). I saw him play a few times when I lived in Ottawa at some summer outdoor concerts high on a hill overlooking the Rideau Canal...beautiful surroundings, beautiful fluid, lyrical drumming.
