I'm a drummer, age 28. I've recently moved to Tunbridge Wells for work and hoping to either join an existing band or start something new. I am happy to commit to regular weekly practice and it would be great to gig. I guess that I'm mainly after something that will be fun and a chance to meet people. It would therefore be great to meet musicians of a similar-ish age, particularly as I'm new to the area.
I've drummed in funk, blues, rock, dub, as well as live electronic/trance, and done a few gigs along the way. I'm open to playing different styles in any new band.
Here are some links to a live recording that I did in my last band as a guide for their new drummer (sorry the drums are so loud!).
