My name is Lewis, some people call me the Ninja Drummist. Music is my life and Ive been playing since I was 3 years old. My first instrument is Drums and I was taught by Freddie Wells. I also play Bass, Guitar and Piano.
I teach Drums at Greenbank Music Village and I play drums with New Groove Formation , The Claret Sky , Brian Jones and the Dixieland Allstars and Alan Sweeney.
Ive also been working on a solo project featuring my other instruments called The Cloud9 Mission . Other bands Ive worked with include Headfly, The Wellington Bootles, Magic Rising and Farouche.
I wish I led a more interesting life but, unless your a fellow musician, you'll probably be bored here lol. On the odd occasion that Im not practising teaching or gigging, I design websites ( click here to see some sites I have designed ).
On my MySpace, you will not find any pictures of the side of my face, people advertising their crap or anything that could be considered as Emo or Indie!
So do people read these things past the first 5 lines? (er so you know about the music, hmm what else?) Ive been described as a 45 year old hippy stuck in a 23 year old body hehe. I like to think of myself as a kind, caring type, lifes to short for making enemies. Im told I seem to able to find a positive in even the worst situation. I think very highly of all my friends and loyalty is very important to me. Im a pretty shy kinda guy, not many people know me that well. If you wanna know more, then you'll have to send me a message cos I hate writing these things lol!
So why do they call me the Ninja Drummist? Check out the videos of me with New Groove Formation below:
