Member Since: 2/29/2008
Band Members: !--START CODE IN BAND MEMBERS --!Close 3 layers of cell/row/table.

I am inspired by Steve Gadd and Jo Jo Mayer. I hope to have similar skills and playing styles to them. My playing style is influenced by the sounds of seventy’s funk, as this is the music that I predominantly listen to, with bands such as Parliament Funkadelic, Soul to Soul, James Brown, Tower of Power, and many more.

CB drums, Evans Genera G2 heads, Evans E rings , Pearl Eliminator double bass pedal, 14’ AAX hi hats, Zildjian 20’ Ride, 14’ Zildjian crash, 12’ Paiste Splash, 14’ Paiste China, Rhythm tech hat trick, tycoon block, pearl cowbell.

I offer drum lessons at £10.00 an hour to beginners, I teach basic concepts such as eighth note and sixteenth note bass drum patterns, bass drum independence and rudiments. I try to make learning the drums as easy and enjoyable as possible!!
In the five years I have been playing I have played for various bands including Choi Choy, Polaris, The Deets, Three Fevers, Feline Monsters, Super Naught, and Vintage who was a competitor in X Factor 2007 plus many Jazz quartets.
