I am a moderately experienced Drummer of 10 years+ seeking to finally find a likeminded and similarly keen band of talented musicians. I am well versed in a large number of different styles and genres behind the Drums, from Latin Styles such as Mambo, Samba to Jazz, Funk, Rock and Metal (my personal favourite). This is thanks to my wonderful Drum Tutor who has taught me everything since I was a young boy.
I have only a limited amount of experience working in groups. I was part of a Music BTEC College Course, where we would arrange our own live performances, set lists, rehearsals and other important aspects for the course. I am keen to get out there and put my skills and knowledge to good use. I recieved the highest grade possible for the course if that is reassuring.
Due to my wide range of tastes and interests, I believe I would work well with any group willing to see what I have. You can expect a high level of personal commitment, I am determined to expand my knowledge and playing level and any opportunity will not be taken for granted. I will be moving to Isleham from Havering and looking to find a Band and start putting my skills to good use!

Influences
My biggest influence behind the kit is wholly my Drum Tutor: Mike Grigg. Mike Grigg has taught me a multitude of skills and styles of music over the many years. From the basics when I first started out, to more advanced level genres with demanding technical abilities.
There are many professional and experienced drummers out there who have inspired my playing to a degree, from outstanding and personal heroic players such as Thomas Lang, Dave Weckl and Virgil Donati to Drummers of Bands who I love to listen to, such as Steve Felton, Jeff Pocaro, Jimmy Chamberlain and Jean Paul Gaster, to any Written Material Authors such as Jim Chapin to Youtube/Online Drummers with an eye-opening Chop or Fill.
