Either of those or any out of: Bear, Cuddley Bear, Bebe or Snids from my darling girlfriend Amy.I'm at the University of Hull, in my 2nd year, taking pure Music, although it was BA in Jazz Studies and Popular Musics until I changed! It's a Beaut course!I'm playing in a Funk band, a Blues band, doing session work for 2nd & 3rd year students and I'm playing Timpani more often than before.I've been playing Drums for 7 years and I'm in a long-term Band called FADO ROCK with a bunch of 4 great musicians who are sound lads and I love them loads. www.fadorock.tk or www.myspace.com/fadorock We play around the area and we're currently working on a 4 track EP at Fairview Studios in Willerby working alongside John Spence! I live to drum and hopefully in the future I'll drum to live, basically become a session player for different groups.I love playing Golf and watching comedies like Family Guy, Seinfeld and Futurama and I think Dream Theater kick ass!!! May I also stress, I love drums. But more importantly to me, I love spending time with my gorgeouss girlfriend Amy who I miss looooooooooads when I'm not with her. We both want a kitten but aren't allowed one which sucks ass! For some reason we're addicted to Goldenballs and milkshakes and hate it when Rabbitdeers try and out snid us!Anway, that's a bit about me. Take it easy..
