About Me

Hello all. I'm Dan and i am an alcoholic. Well not proper.Not really. Just moved down to London from Derby, where i was teaching kids and grown-ups how to rock behind a drum kit for three years. (Anyone want lessons?). Did my degree there also. I am down here playing with my band EMIT check out the site www.emittheband.com. And i'm working at wembley drum centre now, which is a good laugh. Spent this year doing a bit of travelling. I went to places like Australia and Thailand which were the main two. Then did a bit of playing in Nice (its like being an X class celeb, but still and wicked laugh). Would be well up for more travelling but the need to settle and hammer music in London has got the better of me for the time being. Ah well prepare to here some great music folks.
