I am an extremely keen musician with a serious passion for the Westcoast session scene! Especially any music between 1975 and 1985. I love soulful and groovy music but I guess I'm a rocker at heart.

I have been playing drums since the age of 14. Was in a band for a couple of years at the age of 18, and since than have only played at home. I can't read (music)((yet!)), but am learning.

I'd really like to find a bunch of musicians with similar tastes and aspirations. I'd like to join a band for fun mainly, but would be willing to see where it takes me, so can be more committed if necessary.
