I'm wasting time, that's all I have, so it's more like I'm wasting life

About Me

I'm James...

I play the Drums and have done for around 8 years, I love music, listening to it, making it and learning about it. My main musical heroes have to be Dave Grohl, John Bonham, and Taylor Hawkins, their drumming amazes me! I used to be a drummer for a band called 'Echobeat', but I'm currently focusing on Uni work, drumming here and there, and listening to some great new music. Two bands I really think are doing it right at the moment are Canterbury and General Fiasco, both I believe have what it takes to get somewhere. If you haven't heard of them...take a listen. www.myspace.com/canterbury - www.msyapce.com/generalfiasco

I'm now at Bath Spa uni studying History, which is amazing. I'm not 100% sure what I want to do after Uni but I'm thinking of a Masters, then getting into either Teaching, Journalism or Politics. Before this though, I would like to spend a year with a band doing what I love.

I'd like to think I'm friendly :D.. I always like to have a laugh, go out, drink, the usual and I love to rant about stuff, especially when it comes to politics or current affairs! I think it's good to have an opinion.

I think that's about it!.. so feel free to add/comment/message/whatever me x
