Band Members: I use:
Yamaha drums as they are made so well.
UFIP cymbals, after visiting the factory in August 2008 and being blown away by the sound and craftsmanship.
LP Patato model congas, old LP bongos, Meinl timbales and JCR cowbells.
I keep my kit down to essentials, as it's just little me carrying the cases!
Influences: Lots (don't we all!).
Just keeping it to 'Drumming', heroes would be Steve Gadd, Max Roach, 'Philly' Jo Jones, Grady Tate, Earl Palmer, John Bonham, Mitch Mitchell, Mark Guiliana, and Tito Puente to name a few off the top of my head.
There are some great drummers (and friends of mine) in the NorthWest of England that continue to inspire me, including: Rob Turner, Rick Weedon, Bryan Hargreaves, and Eryl Roberts.
I love to discover groovy and innovative people from all walks of life.
