During 2005-2006 I freelanced as a member of "Pastilla", LA's premier "rock en espanol" band; and "Scott Fisher & 1a.m. Approach", a pop/jazz outfit which features singer/songwriter Scott Fisher on lead vocals and keyboards and Bob Dunham on lead guitar, hailing from Portland, OR (NEW album, "Step Into The Future" in stores NOW). | |
My Interests |
|
Music:Member Since: 4/26/2005Band Website: write to: bugswako@gmail.com for MP3's and resume Band Members: Hi! I'm Bugs and I have been playing drums profesionally for over 15 years; 8 of those (1997-2005) with an alternative rock band from Monterrey, Mexico by the name of JUMBO. We released 4 CD's with BMG/RCA: Restaurant (1999), DD y Ponle Play (2001), Teleparque (2003), and Gran Panoramico (2005); which led us to tour extensively throughout Mexico, USA and Central America. I am also a Yamaha drumset artist (since 2002) and an active clinician whose credits include Expo Soundcheck 2005, Yamaha's Groove Night 2003, and work alongside internationally acclaimed drum artist Dave Weckl. As of 2007, I am proud to be sponsored by Zildjian cymbals. Finally, although I was born and raised in Mexico, my influences are 100% rooted in all forms of american music. Playing styles include: rock, alternative, pop, blues, funk, jazz, fusion, latin, country, folk, world, reggae, metal, electronica, drum and bass, etc. Feel free to contact me if there's any other information you might need, such as MP3's, recent pictures, contact info and/or my resume. Sincerely, "Bugs" ;) Influences: My influences today range from rock to instrumental jazz and fusion. I admire, respect and continue to study the work and legacy of drummers like Buddy Rich, Max Roach, Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette, Billy Cobham, Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dennis Chambers, Steve Smith, Dave Weckl, Gregg Bissonette, Gary Novak, Russ Miller, Bill Stewart, Marvin "Smitty" Smith, Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez, Keith Carlock, Thomas Lang, Virgil Donati, Josh Freese, Abe Laboriel Jr., Curt Bisquera, Steve Hass, Dafnis Prieto, and Glenn Kotche, to name a few. As far as instrumentalists, i'm in awe of the music of Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and contemporary jazz artists like Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Michel Camilo, Pat Metheny, Allan Holdsworth, John Mclaughlin, John Scofield, Michael Brecker, Jeff Beal, Robben Ford and Brad Mehldau.I also LOVE The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, James Brown, Pink Floyd, Joni Mitchell, The Police, U2, REM, Soda Stereo, Gustavo Cerati, Sting, The Pixies, Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, The Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Jaguares, Zurdok, Jesus Warr, Plastilina Mosh, El Gran Silencio, Cafe Tacuba, Aleks Syntek, Benny Ibarra, Chetes, Audioslave, The Mars Volta, The White Stripes, Bloc Party, Coldplay, Interpol, The Strokes, Avenged Sevenfold, Megadeth, Metallica, Keane, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Daniel Lanois, Brett Dennen, Andrew Bird, and another 10,000 more artists...the list just keeps getting longer every day ;) Sounds Like: rock/alternative/jazz/ US ethnic drummer Record Label: Independent Type of Label: None |
