Gary Dacus

Harvest Mill

Gary is an Independent Drummer - playing where he can and when he is needed. Gary has been reviewed as one of NY's and TN's hardest working drummers and will continue to prove why that is...show after show...band after band.

He has been part of several long running projects as well as a sitting-in for bands with an injured permanent member. Though he would truly love to get a chance to play in a solid signed act, given the chance.
