About Me

Hey, I'm Jim. I play drums. I like old Ludwig drums nad big Zildjian cymbals.I'm available for depping, sessions (live and recording), and other drum related tom-foolery. I'll give a most things a go. Click tracks welcome, if it suits the song. I'm not one for showing off, I play straight, and serve the music. Fair enough, I'm probably distinctly average.People I've played with include: The Alphites (Winners of Juice FMs Next Big Thing 2006, as featured on Hollyoaks), The Cordettes, Arms(at Last), The White Russians(with Carlo ex X-Factor), Steph McMichaels (ex X-Factor), Pete Bentham and the Dinner Ladies, Playa Playa, Dude, House That Jack Built, The Midnight Show, The Safehouse Band, and Robert Carey. I'll be incredibly flattered if you've heard of any of them. I love to play whatever, whenever. At present, House That Jack Built are my main concern.I'm also available for drum teching, most notably, I've teched for Alan White of Yes, Ian Paice of Deep Purple, Jon and Roy(From Victoria, Canada), done full back line tour for Flamingo 50 from Liverpool, amongst other things. I pretend to know what I'm doing behind a sound desk from time to time too. I did sound for Four Tet recently.
