SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I am a laid back Drummer who has been playing for over 10 years. I have played in two small fry gigging bands in Yorkshire before moving up to Aberdeen in 2007 for uni, where making music has taken a back seat to other endeavors... apart from a couple of directionless jam sessions or the odd drum circle or bit of busking
I still reguarly get behind my kit, but there's only so much I can drum on my own without a funky bass bass to bounce off of, a scratch to break to, a synth line to groove on, a nice melody, strings or brass section to accompany or a guitar hook to stomp at...
...I am looking for folks to collaborate or jam out ideas with a view to gigging... and making people dance, but not exclusively so... I am open to ideas and want to make interesting music: upbeat / downbeat / funky / banging / emotive / rockin / reflective / chilled...??
...and have fun with it!!
