If there is a drummer that has been there and done that, it's Billy. For the past 20 years he has played a number of styles passionately and with great conviction. From metal to reggae to country to punk rock, Billy has a distinct style and sound that can only enhance any musical situation. His ability to pull influences in from unusual places is only natural given his open-minded approach and eclectic tastes. For more details on experiences from punk rock van tours to Broadway shows and beyond please check the "RESUME" and "DISCOGRAPHY" pages. 

Billy is available for gigs and recording sessions. Click tracks and sequences are NO PROBLEM. He can also record tracks to your songs locally and send them to wherever the project is being mixed.

Coaching and teaching sessions are also an option, schedule pending. Lessons will focus on time, rudiments, endurance, power, drum tuning, odd meters, etc. "It's really up to the student". BIlly does not subscribe to a method book but rather works exclusively with developing the strengths and weaknesses of the individual student at their stage of development "There are no 'bad' students".

Feel free to virtuallly audition Billy in the following 1 minute segments as he blasts away at the kit and various percussion. Some videos feature Matt Volpe on bass guitar. Need a rhythm section? Look no further!
