James Stewart Drummer + Musician in Brighton and Hove, EN

ABOUT

I am a drummer looking for local sessions (live or studio). I study on the degree course at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music and have been schooled in most forms of music throughout the 8 years I have been playing. I have TrinityGuildhall Grade 8 with merit on the drums and Grade 5 Music Theory. I have just completed two professional tours - one tour of Northern Europe with Divine Chaos (supporting Vader and As You Drown) and one session tour of Poland for metal band Crionics (Candlelight Records). I am comfortable with playing to click and odd time signatures, I can learn songs quickly, I can read drum music and I am a fast learner. I am also prepared to do backing vocals/other percussion if necessary.

Some bands I work with:

Divine Chaos www.myspace/divinechaosband
Invigilators (Live Member) www.myspace/uksanityvalve
Tom Wright/Rochefort Gallops
Sanity Valve (Live Member) www.myspace/invigilators

You can see some of my work from previous tours in my videos section.
