Rich Malloy, drums
Drummer for hire.
Jazz baby!
Communication with drums is one of the most primal and satisfying experiences on earth. With form keeping the boundaries and the influence of Baby Dodds, Vernel Fournier, Elvin Jones & Bill Stewart, I look forward to each and every adventure on the bandstand.
Grooves too.
Pop, RnB, Rock, Country, I love it all. Drawing from the paths cut by Jim Keltner, James Gadson, Steve Gadd, Jeff Porcaro & Levon Helm I deeply enjoying locking in the groove and feel to give each tune its signature mark, whether placed by someone else or myself.
