ABOUT

Young at heart, energetic with lots of varied life experiences. Played professionally since being in my early teens. Played all styles and genres all over the UK (although not for a few years, hence very few recordings. I'm working on that right now) I don't drink alcohol, smoke or do drugs. My primary instrument is drums and percussion. Studied music technology at Manchester City Collage 97-99 Btec ND. Sound recording and live sound reinforcement in the field experience. NOT looking for a cover band. Only original material. Very committed and hard working. Willing to travel for the right project. Passport at the ready. Tight, articulate drummer that listens to other musicians. I have lots of studio playing experience, click tracks and sequencing no problem. I know my way around a mixing desk and have loads of studio experience as well as playing live. Looking to work with up and coming acts, original material only. 07799 688822
