Drums, Backup Vocals     I began playin' the drums, tapping on my knees, when I was 11.  I had only my imagination but that carried me through until High School where I won a competition to start in the band on drums.  I was in all of the required bands, (i.e. Marching Band), but of course my favorite was Stage Band, I got to play a real drum set! Shortly, thereafter I bought my first real set and I played in bars and at parties with people thoughout Las Vegas, NV. I was in a couple of small bands but we didn't really go anywhere.   The unfortunate happenings in life forced me to sell everything. So went my drum set. That was in 1986. Even though I was without a set I was still playin' gigs off and on using borrowed sets. Then In 1995 my buddy, Joe, borrowed a Bass guitar from a friend and that was all the inpiration I needed to go out and get another set of skins. We practiced off and on with different folks comin' out to the house.   Then a guy who I heard could "really" play, Chris, came out and sat in with us.  At first it was hit and miss.  Then after he saw that he could have some fun he began coming over every weekend.  Well, after a couple of years and a boatload of equipment.  We had a band. We practiced covers mostly then a few originals began coming into play. After a while we wanted a lead singer, someone who could really belt out the blues.  We had a few trial folks who gave us the experience of learning what we wanted in a lead singer and a band member. Four years into the makin', through different music equipment and members, Joe and Chris met this Metal Rocker named Jimmy. He came to a few practices and saw there was blues to be sung. With that we have recorded in Studios, made CDs and a website, playn' the Blues and havin' some fun.   View Bloody Finger's Equipment List
