Hi peeps, I'm a drummer who's been playing quite a long time and I'm in a band who play classic rock covers and you can check out our myspace@ www.myspace.com/jadedrockmachine. I also play in a Thunder tribute band called Backstreet Symphony (www.myspace.com/backstreetsymphony). My playing was improved after sound advice and help from Pete Boot who is a top bloke and quality drummer and is a local legend and former drummer with Budgie and numerous other bands. He stopped me doing 4 minute drum fills every song and from that my technique and groove was suddenly found and developed. I have been involved with a couple of projects and done some tourin supporting pro bands as well as our own headline tours, nothing massive thou but great experience with some great musicians. My main influences music wise are: Thin lizzy Led Zep Deep Purple Toto Iron Maiden My main drum influences are: Brian Downey (God) Jeff Pocaro Nicko McBrain John Bonham (Legend!!!) Deen Castronovo In my spare time I'm following my beloved Walsall home and as many away as I can. Leave a message if you like and thanks for checking my page out.PhilA big thank you to my very understanding wife Joanne for travelling up and down the country with the band and for all of her support.
