FLOYD FULTON
Nashville,TN
Summary
Hailing from Sacramento, born in San Francisco, I am a versatile and dynamic drummer with over 18 years of experience, including a recent stint with Jon Bon Jovi's Obie O'Brien. I have excelled in diverse genres from rock to jazz, showcasing exceptional music theory knowledge and composition skills. I have proven my ability to execute live having played in numerous venues across the U.S. and recorded extensively, demonstrating both technical proficiency and adaptive teamwork. When I was 12 years old, my parents took me to my first ever concert at the Fox Theater to see Primus on New Years Eve. It was when I saw Moby Dick fall from the ceiling, that I knew I wanted nothing more then to share the stage with Les Claypool and Larry LaLonde.
