I have the pleasure & privilege of playing drums in 5 bands at present:
Ethanol (original, funk-soul-rock),
TH3 (original, dynamic, instrumental, blues-roots-rock),
The Cabarettos (blues/jazz/soul/pop/rock 'n' roll coverband)
Urban Creatures (blues/jazz/country/folk/funk, playing originals & covers)
Flash Harry (rock/pop coverband)
There's always other projects on the go, be they in the studio or on stage, but these are the core bands I work with on an ongoing basis.
Many, many moons ago, a younger/stupider version of me used playing in bands as an excuse to get as drunk as possible as often as possible. Thankfully things have changed dramatically for the better. With the ever more distant boozehound lifestyle extinguished for good, my passion for playing (not to mention life in general) is far greater than I ever could have imagined before.
I have an undying love for the sport of boxing. It's the only sport that I've ever been interested in. It's in my blood. I stay as involved in the sport as much as my other commitments allow. I have a couple of private students I teach to box & occasionally still manage to lend a hand (or two) at the Bendigo Amateur Boxing Club - in between being a dedicated husband, new dad, working my day job at Bendigo Bank & rehearsing or gigging with one band or another!
Apart from my precious family (& my sobriety), making music with my friends is the gift I apreciate the most...
