I have been playing drums for as long as I can remember. I have played with the likes of: Phantom (Classic Rock Covers Band), New Horizon (Standard Covers Band) and Morroko (Standard Covers Band).
In between my various cover band incarnations I played with Original bands and toured the country with bands such as: Storm (Original Progressive Rock Band), Chase (Original Heavy Rock Band) who released the single Evensong C/W Evermore Part 2 Back in 1983, The Great Divide (Original Pop/Rock Band) and Stinkbone (Original Hard Rock Band).
I have played at various venues throughout the U.K. including: The Mean Fiddler, London, The Rock Garden, Covent Garden, London, The Firehouse, Liverpool, JBs, Dudley, and various universities around the U.K.
Although I'm only doing covers at the moment I am always on the look out for a band playing original material who are after a drummer. So any bands based in and around the Birmingham area who may be interested please let me know!!
Queen, Rush, Del Amitri, The Who, ELO, Steve Harley and the late great Robert Palmer to name but a few.
I originally started out with a Premier Olympic kit which saw me through many a tough gig in the beginning. I have also used Pearl Export drums, Simmons Electronic drums and Roland V drums in the past. I am currently playing TAMA drums and ZILDJIAN Cymbals.
