Heard the expression, “listening to a different drummer”? Tracy’s been called “inventive and eclectic.” “Expressing much more than mere sound.” “Sensitive, subtle and confident.” “Capable of both power and nuance.” The descriptions can go on but, along with Tracy’s renowned versatility, they add up to this: Whatever the musical genre, if you’re seeking a drummer that can truly enhance your musical end product, Tracy’s the one. R&B. Blues. Fusion. Funk. Latin, Jazz. Rock. You name it. Tracy’s done it. Which means no time-consuming “phase-ins” In fact, Tracy’s known for his ability to smoothly “step in” to any musical situation. Further, he’s ready to deliver the full range of sounds. Acoustic drums. Electronic drums. And, electronically, virtually any sound—percussion or otherwise—you can imagine.
