ABOUT
Not available at the moment due to being active in two nwobhm bands. Will leave my profile here though just in case I find time in future to do any other stuff...
Okay, so I'm a massively experienced, pro-level drummer looking for a new band/project this year - preferably metal as I love it and want to do something in the genre of a really high standard. Mainly interested in playing tech-metal but am a lover of groove and melody too ;) So to combine all three would be cool! I have experience of all kinds of different musical styles (prog/rock/jazz/funk/fusion/electronica/dance etc) and hope to take cues from these and implement them into a metal setting. Speak to me at way of the drummer (all one word) at google mail.
