Drums & Hand Percussion.
Film / Tv composer - Drum Teacher
Hi everyone,
I've been performing and playing drums since HS.
Been to Alaska, S. America, and European countries when playing percussion with Holland America Cruise Line.
Went to Brazil learning Samba with other percussionists.
From other performances, Jazz gigs, bands, and Theatre work, my musical background can add new features to your projects (Film or TV).
Since 2011, I've been writing Part time. These examples are at the SoundCloud website.
Hope you enjoy the music. I've been learning Dorico (now up to version 3.5) and use Logic X Pro sounds as well as the HALion sounds from Steinberg's Dorico program. NI Kontak 11 sounds are apart of studio, to adapt towards your musical needs / styles.
I use real Drums with all tracks so far - adding more realism to the music written.
Village Paint, written by Russell Landwehr, and percussion performed by me, played on HBO Verve last year - one small highlight in a collaboration with Russell.
Another lady used drum tracks for her movie this year (2021 - ‘Legends of Takawa’, by Gin Wells.
In 2023, a playwright from Stage 32 needed music and made two pieces for his musical. (See write up on my website - ).
Unique traits: Like going White water rafting
