Influences
Drums - 60's - 90's has endless options for great drum influences and tunes. I am picking up new songs all the time. I have no niche - and prefer to keep myself based in the variety that Jazz, Pop, Rock and Indie has to offer. I keep discovering what I dont know and love finding out new songs and artists, so try me out.
I do love a good ska gig - influences are Streetlight Manifesto, The Interupters, 8'6 Crew, Los Fastidious, New York Jazz Ensemble, The Toasters, Scrapy. Split Dogs and Soft Play. Skatalities, Tommy McCook.
