ABOUT
I'm 23, from Manchester and have been playing since i was 13 years old. I initiallt started out as a percussionist playing on just about anything i could get my hands and then moved quickly onto drumkit. I have a very natural feel for the kit whilst still pertaining to a technical approach. I've been playing live gigs since i was 15 and have done a little touring in Europe in my late teens. Im looking to join an originals band with whom i can make some quality music and basically do what i love.

Influences
Im massively influenced by motown and heavy rock thanks to my parents raising me. Meanwhile i've particularly become a big fan of old school blues music and more alternate music. Never the less i like to keep a huge spectrum in my tastes so i listen avidly to cuban, spanish, RnB, and soul music. I love to play all kinds of music, however, it has to be tight and tasty!
EQUIPMENT
Pearl masters, roland td-9k and 3 custom kits (of which im very proud)
Cymbals are to many to state but i tend to use zildjian and Istanbul the most
