ABOUT

Hi my names Hugh, i play drums, Im very dedicated, i like to think i have a professional attitude towards music as i wish for my passion to flourish into a career. I love meeting other musicians and i like to work hard and have fun. Ive been in a handful of bands stretching from bigband to funk, and pop to idie.... My playing style is NOT heavy, im not a rock player. Ive done several sessions with the likes of "Origami Dinosaur" - "The Stand" - "Bombay Monkey" and "The Carpet Lounge Lizards" so i have experience in the studio with both acoustic and electric drums. Last year i played for 2 signed funk bands "the grits" and "the impellers" If i sound like what your looking for, please dont hesitate to get in contact! Im very easy to get on with, have a great sense of humor but most of all i just want to have fun and make great music.
