An active musician for over 30 years, JoeQ has played drums in jazz, rock, blues, latin, and country bands. His work as a producer and engineer has helped him to approach his instrument from a unique viewpoint. He is available for live performances, studio recording and drum lessons.

Studio Specialities include:
Custom drum tracks recorded to your song in a number of audio formats. Come in to the studio, or simply exchange files by mail, or FTP. Great sound, great playing — flat rates available.

Creative original drum programming and loop creation — when picking a beat off a store-bought disc just won’t cut it. Funky, modern grooves and beats.

Live Specialities include:
Substitution dates: Wide familiarity with many styles and excellent playing and listening chops make JoeQ a perfect choice for filling a sudden vacancy in your band.
Backing up singers: sensitivity, control and feeling for song form make JoeQ a natural choice for this kind of work.
Blues and Funk: JoeQ just loves the blues and the funk.
Swing Jazz: 15 years experience playing in traditional jazz and swing bands.

“I play the drums the way the Producer in me wants to hear drums. My goal as a drummer is to have someone listen to a performance and say not ‘what a great drummer’ but rather ‘what a great band’.”

“A drummer needs to be reliable. From showing up on time to keeping time it’s all about dependability.”
