a slave to rhythm

About Me

HI! my name is ciaran and i am an aspiring young drummer, I love to play music, and will happily play almost any style as long as its interesting and the drumming is good! i'm at my best though when actually playing, i can honestly say drumming is one of the few things that really gets me exited, IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE! its no joke i am actually a slave to rhythm. I WANNA PLAY!people would say that i'm very strange, and very few people deeply know me, i like to think i'm misunderstood, but meet me and you can make your own opinion... so, above all: a drummer for hire in the glos/wors area. think of me less as a person, more of a drum machine with feelings... RHYTHM IS UR FRIEND! HUG IT! This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5

My Interests

you probly know this by now, but aside from the obvious i like to read. Cult novels REALY turn my head, as well as anything ground breaking or strange. but if something is gripping i'm more than prepared to stick with it. also, i'm quite 'hippy'-ish, i'm very into being happy with my suroundings and trying not to get stressed, you may think this is sad but at the end of the day i'm the one with good karma

I'd like to meet:

MUSICIANS!!! the more musicians i meet the more people to collaborate with and hopefully more friends. Otherwise anyone with a genuine love for music who would like to talk about it, or any experienced industry veterans full o' knowlage.

Music:

almost anything. I play rock/metal in 'Blackout' -a crakin' act if i do say so myself! and Fast-paced ska in 'Offbeat Heroes' but i'd love to be part of a styles crossover project. something alternative that no-one has done, that would be great! With loads of Afro-Cuban rythms!

Movies:

rarely found enjoying these anymore, the last 'short film' that entertained me began life as a video of one of blackout's gigs, but developed into new realms of comic geneous, i'd like to see more things like that!

Television:

if i had sky i'd be watchin music channels but i dont so..... late nite channel four is rele good '4 music', they show some wicked acts once in a while. BCC is good around th' proms... o would'nt touch top of tha pops with a barge pole tho!

Books:

i like cult novels

Heroes:

Jason Bowld all the way! he introduced me to ideas i never new existed in the world of drums, their are the obvious drumming ones... buddy rich, joe morello, the mysterious 'Gladstone', Virgil donati, terry bozzio, Bonzo, pete lockett and Trilok Gurtu!also howard... he hand drums PROPERLY
