About to take GCSEs, will soon have a very long summer to do gigs, make music and have fun! After exam season, I will be able to do 3-4 gigs per week. I want to make a career out of music, and I plan to attend either Birmingham Conservatoire or UoB. Currently at Queen Mary’s Grammar School, Walsall, where I play drums in the Orchestra and Jazz bands (plus sing in the choir). I play drums in many ensembles at Walsall Arena and Arts Centre, as well as orchestras and jazz bands around the West Midlands, including percussion in CBSO Youth Orchestra. I also have been doing musical theatre for 8 years.

EQUIPMENT
I have a 4-piece drum kit (bass, snare, high/floor tom), including of course a full set of cymbals and hardware. I also have a somewhat portable digital piano and lots of misc. percussion instruments, as well as three guitars (one classical, one cheap electric and one epiphone les paul) which I am teaching myself how to play.
