ABOUT

Experienced Drummer Available - I am looking to join a band for 2-3 gigs per month.. ideally a classic rock covers band (that's my bag!)
I can pick up most things very quickly and / or just freestyle similar to open mic nights...

My kit is a Mapex 6pc with various cymbals etc - the usual stuff n pedals all in good nick

Drummed for 3 years in a Country Rock band called Frontier which only broke up due to lack of enthusiasm from other members.... gigs included various pubs and some outdoor funday festival type events.
We covered mainly country rock but also included Johhny Be goode and some other bluesy type stuff...

Before Frontier i was in a function band for 5 years called The Beatleaders which was a 10 piece band and covers included ska, rock, ballads, and the usual mustang sally type covers for weddings...

i have also done work for Amateur drama theatre companies - when they used live bands. Great fun but hard work as volume and tempo has to be soooo accurate every night.!!

I understand a great deal about the fact a performance has to have an overall sound that is good out front and it's not necessarily about how good i am (or not as the case may be.!!)

Open to most ideas and music.. don't want to do metal / death metal but anything else bluesy - classic rock / country rock etc gimme a shout and we'll chat. Cheers
