About Me

I have been plaing drums since the age of 14. At the age of 15 i realised that drumming was my thing. i then started to have lessons off a number of teachers. one being pete james (ex Bonnie Tyler, currently with Mike Doyle) and Aled Richards (ex Catatonia currently with Amy Wadge). I have played many gigs in various situations. From pub gigs to outdoor events, from theatre to playing in my home towns prom night, which i was proud to be apart of.I can play most styles from Jazz, Funk, Rock, Pop, Blues, RnB and Drum n Bass. i can read music efficiently. This is my weaknes but can still read. I have played in a number of big bands, (carmarthenshire county big band and Bournemouth university big band. I have also had experience playing in a number of musicals such as OLIVER, GREASE "twice" which are just a few to name and have had plenty of experience with live shows from small pub gigs to big outdoor events.As for my recording experience, it may not be as huge as my live experience but i feel i have had plenty for me to do the job to a proffesional standard. when i started college at the age of 16 i started a National Diploma in music technology. this is where i had most of my expereience in recording. I always get the best sound possible.I am available as a drum tutor. Check contact details.Thanks for reading. and if you ever need a drummer that can play whats required. send me an e-mail any time for a chat or you can check out a few of my recordings at:- www.myspace.com/gazdrums1 contact [email protected] [email protected] Edited by MPS MySpace Editor 2.0
