ABOUT

Hi - My names Tom and I'm a 30 year old drummer from Stoke on Trent. I've been in several bands over the years, playing music from Thrash Metal to Classic Rock, and am currently playing in a Rock covers band.

I'm looking to get another project on the go though, doing original music again, and am definitely drawn towards a Rock/Hard Rock sort of area - think Alter Bridge, Avenged Sevenfold and Shinedown, with a bit of Guns n Roses, Def Leppard and Iron Maiden thrown in. I've got no idea if that mix is possible, but I'd love to find out!

I've got plenty of experience gigging and recording, my own transport and top of the range gear, as well as a couple of part-sponsorship deals. I'm eager to travel for gigs, but would definitely prefer a band based in the Staffordshire area, as working full time, practicing out of the area wouldn't be ideal.

For a new project, I'd be looking to get something started with people who have similar to the above - experience of gigging and recording, with their own transport, and decent gear, so we can get out gigging and look professional asap.

Of course, if you are an already established Rock band and just looking for a new drummer, I would be extremely interested as well. I'm a quick learner, so if you have stuff written, I could be up and running with a set in a matter of weeks, but I'm also very good at putting beats to riffs and melodies, so if you have some song ideas, we could get them sorted with drums and in the set in no time.

I'm also very up for one off studio sessions, gigs or even possible theater work. I have experience working with a click, so that would be no problem. For that sort of thing (one off's, sessions etc) I would be up for working with any genre, and would be willing to travel further afield.
