About Me

DeesKnees - the solo and collaborative pursuits of Derek Dobson to step beyond the drum stool and make his own style of music that incorporates all of his interests. Some of these interests can vary from Children's Music to Ambient and Dub. The possibilities of there being other genres thrown in between those just mentioned are very great.DeesKnees asks the question: Can a drummer with no training in musical theory create music that is not based around the drum set?You decide!I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
