Tim Kane, Drummer for Hire

Like most professional freelance musicians, I am not bound to any one band so I offer live gig services playing out as a fill-in drummer in the central New England area.

With very little notice, I can fill-in for your club date, private party, or concert gig. Call 508-867-5985, 413-813-5350, or email tdkane@charter.net to inquire about my availability.

I possess the “good ears” ability to just show up and perform pro level drum parts. I can also sight read, and my skills are attuned to a variety of styles, including jazz, funk, rock, R&B and folk music — for both originals and cover songs.

I encourage receiving MP3 files or iTunes files prior to the gig to do
advance practice. Drum part notations can be emailed to me via pdf or html formats.

If you are more comfortable with one live practice prior to your gig, I am also willing to negotiate that fee depending on location and time involved.

My typical fee for playing live gigs is $50 per hour. Payment is required at conclusion of the gig. Meal and mileage is a separate fee discussion depending on length and location of gig.

I possess only high quality, professional, and attractive equipment as well as all the necessary drum microphones and cords, if needed.
