About Me

hello...
...a bit about me I live in Bramley, Hampshire (between Reading and Basingstoke). I run 'The Rhoom' (www.therhoom.co.uk) rehearsal studios in Hurst (Reading, Berkshire). I play drums for Tesseract and Heights . I was the drummer for Arija (RIP 08/06/2006). Drums - I play a Tama Starclassic Bubinga kit in Dark Mocha fade with Black Nickel hardware. Prety amazing kit!! It's my main live, recording and practice kit.
Guitar (a bit), I've played guitar longer that I've played drums, but I'm rubbish... Music (listening, playing, writing, recording). Dogs. I sponsor this dog... - She's called Cindy. Go and sponsor a dog, seriously! Tesseract, Heights, Arija, Meshuggah, Bjork, Textures, Gatzby's American Dream, Reuben, Mew. I have a new-found fondness of reading (books). Travelling, although i don't do nearly enough. Eating good food - Wagamamas Strada Nandos Yellow River Cafe London, although I'm not a massive fan of the underground - too closed in for my liking! Apple computers. Wireless networks. Great invention. Audi A3 - my next car WILL be a black Audi A3. oh yes. Gadgets - where would I be without toys. Family Guy. American Dad. Friends. Futurama. The Simpsons. Lost. Desperate Housewives (sorry). Films: Anthing with Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey... you get the idea.
