SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Very experienced electro/acoustic percussionist & drummer, plus excellent lead/harmony vocals, and bass guitar.
I'm creative, enthusiastic, reliable, professional and very easy to get on with. I'm happy working with, or as a drummer, and I'm used to playing with a click-track /sequencer.
I love playing small, intimate acoustic gigs, would definitely like to get back into a really good covers band, and I'm also very interested in using my experience with any fresh, new, innovative bands or artists.
