Hello! Welcome to my page, A little bit of background for you, I am a professional drum tutor now based in Wickford Essex and had my first taste of professional playing at the tender age of 19. I was fortunate to have worked with guys such as Mike Oldfield, of Tubular Bells fame, and Sparks, who's most memorable hit was 'This town ain't big enough for the both of us' I have also recorded an album with (PiL) Public Image Ltd . I have performed on several Top of the Pops over the years and Crackerjack for those of you old enough to remember that show!. The recording I did with PiL was on the' Metal Box album 'providing drums for two tracks Swan Lake (aka Death Disco) and Albatross and various other stuff that even I can't even remember doing!!(oh missed royalties) I have a passion for teaching drums and have my own business called Blue Drums. My tuition info can be found at my website link opposite bluedrums.co.uk. WEBSITE NOW UPDATED. I now have new versions of Sparks and Mike Oldfield TOTPs clips with articles and new on-line music store links for equipment ,Concert tickets, CDs DVDs ... so worth a look! There are still some interesting pics featured of recordings ofthe Metal Box album with John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols) and the rest of PiL. Further PiL info can be found on most comprehensive PiL website I know of http://fodderstompf.com. I recently signed an artists relations deal with Roland UK Ltd to promote their range of products especially their V Drum range as they are the Biz in Electric kits. I used V drums on most of my tracks. I have decided at long last to give some of my ideas an air play to a wider audience in the hope that some of you guys might at least like one of them! I decided that I wanted to create something complete from start to finish where I could manage the whole process , ie write, perform vocals and play all of the instruments, except for lead guitar on 'I couldn't live without you' which is played by Michael Fredericks. All of the drums tracks were performed without any Quantizing and played strictly to click! for a true live feel which I did in a modest home studio. The instrumental dance tracks 'Ibiza Chill' and 'Club Dance' I did cheat a bit using a few sample vocals just in case you thought it was me( can't reach that high !!!)I would love to hear from any PiL, Mike Oldfield or Sparks fans.
