SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I play a Gretsch Catalina 5-piece drum kit. I love playing in a band which allows me to support/ accompany the soloist in a moderately busy way. Although, like many musicians, I'm familiar with the 4/4 time signature, I am very open to exploring other time signatures. I love using the brushes as much as sticks. I've a little orchestral experience, played in various Rock setting and a few Jazz ensembles. For more info go to cambridgedrumlessons.co.uk

Influences
Stanton Moore, Tony Williams, Keith Moon, Jack Dejohnette, Ed Blackwell, etc. I like a lot of what Miles Davis did. I was brought up on Who music, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Burundi Drummers................. Currently, I'm listening to Tord Gustavsen and Bobo Stenson's music. The drumming on these recordings comes closer to the way I like to play, or, aspire to play like. i.e. not loud/heavy, but sensitive and gently passionate.
EQUIPMENT
Gretsch Catalina 5-piece, Sabian and Zildjian Cymbals and Promark sticks
