I’m a 30 year old drummer who wants to join a folk/acoustic/modernrock/classical, Chilled Electronic band in the South West. I have always had a passion for all kinds of music genres. To be honest, I have never been in a proper band. I’ve jammed lots with friends and at small open mics in bars, but have never had any studio or big live gig experience but would love the chance to. I signed up to band mix a few years back but it took a back seat due to travelling and jobs but now thats all done im ready to be in a band.
I love tinkling with all kinds of drums in my spare time, from kits to congas, bongos and bodrans. I’ve been drumming for 9 years, having had lessons through four of them. I can keep a smooth beat and keep in time, with the kit or percussion instruments. I just have a passion for drumming and music.
I like to think I’m a friendly, easy going person who just wants to have fun and make nice music with nice creative people.
