Is your copy letting your marketing campaigns down?

I love to write. Here’s a recent comedy script I wrote just for the love of the game. It’s the “pilot” of a workplace comedy that I started writing in December 2019. By the time I finished it in April 2020, the main storyline of departments fighting about cubicles versus desks was wildly irrelevant.

You probably don’t need a screenplay, but you probably need some copy for a website, an email campaign, a landing page, an article, or have another idea and I would love to write it for you. Although most of the copy I’ve written in recent years has been for digital marketing, I was once an Assistant Editor and Staff Writer at DRUM! Magazine and I’ve shared some of those samples below.

The Process

The copywriting process is fairly simple – you tell me what you would like me to write and how much of it, and then I will write it. Of course, we’ll have to discuss things like audience, channel, style, and tone, but that’s the gist.

"Tale of Two Drum Companies"

DRUM! visits DW & Pacific Drums and Percussion

A few hundred yards from highway 101 and across the street from strawberry fields stands a nondescript building in an Oxnard, California office park. Aside from the two-feet high blue DW logo out front, no one would know that since 2002, this has been the home of the premier American custom drum company. Read more.

Dino Campanella (dredg)

Living the Dream

Dino Campanella has been splintering wood since his eighth grade graduation when his parents bought him his first drum set. Before that, he had tickled the ivories, albeit more delicately. Read more.

Jimmy Chamberlin (Smashing Pumpkins)

Building a Complex

Life Begins Again isn’t merely the title to Jimmy Chamberlin’s new album. It is a philosophy that guides his music, his career, and his life – and this is a man for whom life has begun again many times over. Read more.

Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac)

My First Drum Set

As the solid pulse of Fleetwood Mac for almost 40 years, Mick Fleetwood first learned how to keep a beat on a modest three-piece Gigster kit at the age of 11 after convincing his parents that he was very serious about playing the drums. Read more.

Paul Hawley (Hot Hot Heat)

Serious Heat

The butt of many jokes, drummers are sometimes not considered serious musicians. While some do live up to and actualize the Neanderthal stereotype, Paul Hawley’s musicianship and contributions to the über hot Hot Hot Heat break down those generalizations. Read more.

Andrew Hurley (Fall Out Boy)

From The Grave To The Cork Tree

Book reports, gym class, stale lunch, and driver’s ed are all still fresh in the memories of the members of Fall Out Boy. The Boy was born just a few years ago while bassist Pete Wentz, vocalist Patrick Stump, and guitarist Joe Trohman were in high school in Chicago. They recruited their buddy Andrew Hurley to man the drums, and the quartet quickly recorded a demo… Read more.

Barry Kerch (Shinedown)

Anthropology Rocks

According to its web site, Lake Doctors is a company that provides a wide range of beautification services for various bodies of water. According to Barry Kerch, he’s a Southern redneck who plays the drums and loves to rock out. Believe it or not, in this small world, those two distinct entities collided. Read more.

Bill Rieflin (R.E.M.)

How I Got The Gig

I was introduced to Scott McCaughey of The Minus 5 one evening at a local haunt in Seattle called “Hattie’s Hat.” The Minus 5 is a band that Scott and Peter Buck have together. He had a gig coming up and they needed a drummer. He asked me to play and I said, “Yeah.” I was introduced to Peter through that. Read more.

Dena Tauriello (Antigone Rising)

You Gotta Believe

In a slightly different world, Dena Tauriello would be playing softball right now, and you certainly wouldn’t be reading about her. A four-year-scholarship softball player at Penn State, the drumming bug bit Tauriello at age eight when she met Karen Carpenter. It was a chance encounter, and a life-changing one at that. Read more.

Stephen Perkins (Jane's Addiction, Banyan)

Moving On (Again)

Stephen Perkins likes to keep busy and it shows. Somewhere between Jane’s Addiction and Porno for Pyros, Perkins conceived his current band – Banyan. Formed in 1997, Banyan served Perkins as a way to feel music rather than simply playing it. Read more.

Roberto Quintero (session percussionist)

King Conga

Unknown to most of you, Roberto Quintero has been a force in Latin music for many years and boasts touring and recording credits with stars like Celia Cruz, Marc Anthony, Ray Barretto, Tito Puente, and Jack DeJohnette. He’s even recorded on two Grammy-winning records and another that was nominated. Not bad for a soft-spoken percussionist from Venezuela.  Read more.

Willie The New Guy (The Bloodhound Gang)

New Is Getting Old

In the wild circus of disappearing singers and promoters with loose bowels stands a comparatively normal individual. Meet Willie The New Guy (a.k.a., Billy Brehony by his parents), an amateur Jay Leno impersonator and Simpsons trivia machine. Since joining the Bloodhound Gang in the late 1990s, Willie has remained the new guy and probably will keep his nickname until it is etched into his tombstone when all is said and done.  Read more.
