Pro Drummer. Friends call me Chavo (like the good vocalist from Black Flag), fresh out of the East Bay CA, now calling north west Austin home. Now , I’m on the hunt for a few local projects to involve myself with.
So I been playing drums for the better part of the last 20 years. A few years back I decided to step up my game and go to school for music/percussion, and so over the last couple years that is exactly what I’ve been doing (online). Over that time I’ve also developed a working knowledge of both Abelton Live as well as Studio One, and can work backing tracks at live performances. Ill be starting an audio engineering class next semester that I’m very excited about. I Have a vehicle and a license. I consider myself to be very respectful of peoples time, as well as their musical ideas and opinions. I found myself to be a compassionate, conscientious anti-capitalist, however I’m incredibly well organized in spite of my anarchistic nature. I. Have an incredibly well behaved German Shepard named Riot, that goes most places with me (often to include rehearsals). I’m looking for both passion projects as well as event/wedding band gigs. I do have professional gear as well as a personal practice space.
Type of music honestly doesn’t matter as much.However at the moment id love to find a 90s alternative cover band in addition to a more metal/progressive band…. IfI have the time to learn I can just about play anything. A complete unknown tune or original song may take me anywhere from 1-3 days to learn depending on a couple factors, but I always get it accomplished. Lets do a FB video call and see how we mesh, then perhaps grab drinks or go strait at the practice room, whatever you prefer. show contact info
