Gary Allen/Drums/Songwriter

Pro Drummer Gold/Platinum credentials with 7 record labels. Ludwig drums exclusively.
I am the drummer from The Charlie Daniels Band, JJ Cale and Opry Star Stonewall Jackson. Local,
road, studio, lessons. I run this service and use it myself, that's how good it is :) I would be most
interested in a full time working band with direction, ambition and some backing or at least a solid
booking arrangement. A weekend warrior gig, local or road is also cool with me.Team player, house
background vocals, housetrained, sense of humor, Sagittarian and I laugh at the drummer jokes.
