I am currently looking for dep and function work.

Experience

• Was house drummer for a year in a popular, hi-end bar in Bangkok, playing every Friday night. This included Western pop songs from across decades, as well as Thai, Chinese and Japanese pop songs (which I didn’t know, but am skilled enough to play to the song and anticipate section changes)
• Have played in England, Wales, Australia and Thailand
• Have recorded drums for 3 E.Ps for 2 original bands, as well as some other ad hoc sessions
• Have played in and depped for both original and cover bands for 11 years
• House drummer for pub jam night in local town
Education
• Studied and gained a diploma at British and Irish Modern Music Institute (BIMM)
• Achieved a 2:1 BA (Hons) in Audio and Music Production at Bucks New Uni (this also included live performance and recording)
