Ken Rubio/Drums Very experienced dynamic drummer/all styles. Pro-level for 46 years.

Room for a drum kit.

The usual time, place, pay, and if food is provided.

I bring all the drums, cymbals, microphones, cords, etc, needed for the gig. Sometimes I bring a small mixing board that is only for the drums.

I have spent countless hours practicing everything from the fundamentals of drumming to advance techniques. I can read music. I have been giving drum lessons for decades, and I have studied with some of the best drummers in the world, including Tom Brechltien (Chick Corey, Al De Meola, Kenny Loggins), and Michael Stephans (David Bowie, Bennie Maupin)

One of the best venues I've played was playing The Pechanga Theater in Temecula, CA with Guilty Conscience. The best gig was probably at Lorimar Winery with Lifetime Rocker.

I like smaller venues with good vibes and plenty of dancers.

I grew up playing in concert and jazz bands and a symphony orchestra. I am a fit good looking 64 year old, and I started gigging in 1980. Most of my gigs have been with dance, rock, jazz combos, and big bands.

Influenced by drummers like Stewart Copeland, Buddy Rich, and Lenny White, just to name a few. My favorite band is The Beatles, of course.

With no sound man provided and a full microphone set up, I need about an hour and a half to set up. I usually show up 2.5 hours early so that there's less stress. I usually play 3-4 hour gigs.

I love playing outside when the weather is cooperating.

I play drums to whatever song the band wants to play.

People love my drumming. I have good timing and dynamics, and when I sub for other drummers, they almost always like my drumming better than the permanent drummer.
