it's all about me...

There haven't been many girl drummers on the music scene here in Lake County Florida. My first love has been playing jazz, but heavy rock and power metal  (POD, Skillet, Pillar, Creed, Dream Theatre, Guardian, Seven Dust, Angelica, Impellitteri, Kutless, Switchfoot, System of a Down, Extol,Zao, Juliana Therory, Metalica, PAX217, Galactic Cowboys, Stryper, Disturbed, Project 86, Messiah Prophet, Justified) is what my groove is now. I was adopted and my birth father was a professional jazz drummer. I've played drums since i was like 6 years old. I would love to find my birth father some day just to let him know that i have been playing drums most of my life...i so wonder what he is doing now..if he is like playing gigs somewhere....maybe he is somebody already famous...


My first Drum was a Gretch snare..and wow..wish i still had it.  I've been in the studio several times and would probably do studio work all day if i could. I've played the club scene and enjoyed the money it brought. Those gigs were fun, but the music didn't glorify God at all. I have since promised God that if I play in clubs again, I will glorify Him!! Now i get high in a different Way!! Another dream that i have now would be to play in a JazzClub playing Acid and Smooth Jazz. I love the grooves of smooth jazz because the rhythems just flow through me. You know you are drumming when the music moves your soul! Okay..what about what i am doing now.. I am presently on my worship team at my church
. We do alot of contemporary christian music. . My current situation is wanting to get another band going. I know it will happen in God's time, not mine.  God will hand pick who He wants me to play with and i know it will be an increddible groove.


I took ballet lessons when i was in kindergarten. I loved dancing and i remember my first ballet shoes. They were pink. Pink is my fav color, but maybe you guessed that already since most of my font color is pink. :)  You would think that more drum companies would come out with a pink kit. I know i would buy it. Hmmm....there is that gretch snare drum again. and that was my first drum set..a piece of junk ludwig that my dad bought at a pond shop for like $50..back then $50 was alot of money..:) My sister is behind me and that guy with the guitar, well, his name was Robbie. I wonder what ever happened to him... He lived down the street. We had a blast on saturday afternoons jamming.  I think i was only 7 in this picture.

My sister and I acted like these penguins most of the time. My parents  taught us how to defend ourselves well . You can guess who the one is that is getting slapped.. :)

my ballet picture..check out the red hair..my gosh..i love it..:)
