United States Marine Corps Band 1982 - 1986
From 1982 to 1986 I was a member of the United States Marine Corps Band where I performed D&B corps style drumming for the USMC marching band, orchestral percussion in a 40 piece wind band, and drum set for a 20 piece big band, a 10 piece top 40 band, a jazz sextet, and Dixieland band. In 1984 I began moonlighting in the local nightclub circuit playing jazz, blues, 50’s, and soul music three to six nights a week. From 1984 until I finished my tour with the Marine Band, I was averaging 12 performances a week.
