This channel is for sharing my musical endeavors with drums and percussion. Many videos feature the band Louie Leeman and Cheap Sneakers which varies in size, usually from 2 to 6 people. Leo Dumas and I share the drumming for the band, along with James Reitzas on congas and hand percussion. The other band "regulars" are: Louie Leeman on guitar and vocals, Michael Crowley on saxophones and flute, Kent Kreutler on keyboards, and Steve Levesque on bass. The band also features other talented musicians that are pulled in on occasion. Besides playing songs that we know well, we are also up for improvising on a whim or request. After working on an album with John Araujo as drummer and producer, I have been playing bass and foot percussion with John, and I also accompany choral groups on percussion but the drums are not a primary feature in those settings so I do not include videos of those gigs
