ABOUT

## No longer looking ##

My name is Gareth, and I am looking for a new venture, either by joining a band in need of a drummer, or by teaming up with a new guitarist/bassist/vocalist, to work on original material, for recording / gigging / social hobby, and I am not opposed to cover versions.

The video & audio clips on here are all from the same band, which was mostly guitar / distortion / alt rock driven, which I do love, but I always wanted to mix it up more, with other elements, sounds & styles from the other bands & artists listed in my influences.

Also, these pictures of my kit are the full set up that I used for that band, and doesn't always have to be that full for different projects / occasions / gigs.

I am not a drummer who just wants to hit everything as hard, and as loud as I can; I tend to link into a songs feel / vibe / energy, and play slow & soft, as well as hard & fast when necessary.

I have played in a band since 2002, when I got my first kit, and have played many gigs over the years, mostly in the Southend area.

I am by no means a full on singer songwriter, but from time to time I am able to contribute with the odd song here and there, bass lines, guitar parts (for the real guitarist & bassist to then build upon), and lyrics.

As you can see from my pictures, I have all of my own drum kit equipment, and transport by means of my car.

Please contact me if you would like to know more, message me here, or at (Please remove all the spaces and join whole address together, the website didn't display my full E-mail address the first time around) Garethwjt @ g mail . com
