Lou Mars Drums...have sticks, will travel!

Lou Mars Pro Drummer please visit my official web site at http://loumarsdrums.com

I am currently based in Morro Bay California, however my Passport is up-to-date and I am available for Worldwide, National, or Statewide Pro level act(s) to support. I have extensive studio, tour and showmanship experience.

My style is described as a show drummer. Capable of supporting most types of music but specializing in Rock, Indie, and Alternative. I'm easy to get along with, like to laugh and keep it fun while taking my role seriously when on stage or in the studio.

My drumming is featured in the Dixon Drum your way to Hollywood special airing on the Comcast on demand A&R Channel. You can also view the show at loumarsdrums.com page. A list of my media coverage is provided below.
