I am easy going and hard working drummer. I love playing drums and practice weekly both on my own and with other musicians/friends. This is regardless of what bands/projects i may be, or not be in. It been consistently part of my life for 24 years. Both for fun and serious reasons. Spiritual and financial motivations are both present. But mainly recently my focus to play a lot, regardless of what is going on band wise, is for therapy! As if i dont play, at least weekly, then my brain seems to not function properly. In effect im playing drums/music to keep myself mentally healthy and powers my life to be positive. So for this musical concept its become quite addictive in that i have to play now all the time forever until the end of time!!! I have my own transport and happy to gig anywhere in UK and Europe. Currently working just part-time so very flexible on time. Really want to get out and do more live gigs with the right music, is my main goal at the moment....
