About Me

LOOKING FOR A DRUMMER? CONTACT ME!
.. free profile counter from SpaceMisc.com!!My name is James Jeffery. I live in Auckland, New Zealand but moved here 7 years ago from England. I am Studying commerce at Auckland university. Always looking for New Musicians to play with. Drums is my major passion. I play in a covers band, so i'm looking for other musicians to write music with. I've had live, and studio experience, have a proffesional gretsch kit, my own Shure drum mics (which can be seen in my videos and pics) and have transport. I have had lessons with one of NZ's greats (Frank Gibson Jr), and NZ's rudimental snare champion (Glen Rodgers). Give me an email on [email protected] or [email protected] if your interested in doing something. If you know of anyone looking for a band or looking for a drummer give me a message.
