I am looking for 1) good band to play with, 2) recording work (my hourly rate is £15 at the moment!) and 3) more drum students (I teach drums: www.richardhemmings.co.uk/drums.html)
I've been playing the drums for many years. I'm competent in most genres, but prefer to play/improvise in a jazz/rock/ funk style. I can read music or play by ear, and I can pick things up pretty quickly. I've got lots of live and studio experience. I like to play music that's fairly open to improvisation and that which allows me get in 'the zone' (which is when I tend to feel most connected to the music). I also like to play quite complicated music but would be happy to join a good cover band that plays interesting stuff.
