About Me

Always interested in music, I took to drumming in an early stage of my life... and, to my parents grief (they never understood why I didn't get on with my Physics Degree from the University), I'm still drumming!Although I try to be the best I can (which concerns constant practicing and playing!), I'm still nowhere near where I'd like to be! However, the most difficult thing is working constantly (which, thank Heavens is happening the last 3 years and hope to continue to happen!) and maintaining a personal life! Oh well...Between drumming professionaly (both studio and live sessions), teaching music in a conservatory, running a home audio-video editing business and being a computer technician, there's still time to get home and spend time with my lovely girl Helen. Time left for me: none... AND I DON'T REGRET A SECOND OF IT! Cheers mate!

My Interests

The love of my life: my lovely Helen, drumming (of course!), music (any kind), movies and computers

My Blog

Jinxed!

I think I need an exorcism! First, my trusty old Axis breaks down in the middle of the third song of a 4-hour set! After a 10-minute break, I macgyvered my way through, using the slave pedal and its c...
