Charlie
has been playing drums for about 20 years now. He started in the middle
school system & never looked back. Becoming a teacher/peer facilitator
in his youth helped him understand multiple principles in learning. Jumping
a year early into the high school marching program, he was able to excel
w/his MHS brothers to two straight undefeated seasons in the top class.
During the summer months of higher education, he helped teach a regional
drumline & co-lead them to their best finish in school history. Charlie's beats are tight and will make you want to get up and dance. He plays vintage kits and has a passion for that "vintage drum sound!" Current influences include Billy Martin, Stanton Moore & John Fishman.
Most recently, he has played with the Seattle bands "Olympic Sound Collective", "Two Way Street" and "Organica". Prior to moving to the Pacific Northwest, he played with Indianapolis based bands "Funk Bud Johnny" and "Chocolate George".
