About

I have been playing playing drums for over 25 years and come from a very musically inclined family. I have an Associate Degree in Commercial Music Management from Austin Community College and, in 2011, I plan to establish FAAR9 Music, which will handle all the publishing for all my musical projects (past, present & future). I currently perform/record regularly with Este Vato (Latin-Fusion), Stars Collide (Progressive-Alternative Rock), Grammy award winning artist Augustin Ramirez "La Ley De Tejas" (Tejano/Regional Tex-Mex) and am also available as a free-lance drummer for live performances and/or recording sessions.
I listen to all genres, am comfortable playing most styles of music and have experience in rock (including progressive, alternative, 50's/60's rock-n-roll/oldies, etc), country, blues, tejano, cumbia, jazz, rap/hip-hop, reggae, etc. I have no problems playing to click track and am comfortable in live situations or the studio. I simply enjoy creating great music with like-minded individuals.
I also produce and record demos for my musical projects and manage various band websites/blogs. I have some experience with web design and am happy to work with other artists/bands in recording demos or establishing a website/blog. I am easy going, laid back and professional. Feel free to email me so we can discuss how I can help with your musical project and/or website.
