About Me

Hi everyone. I'm a drummer and have been playing since I was 3. I've played in function bands, backing bands for solo artists and original bands. I have been in the Doncaster Youth Jazz Orchestra (DYJO) since I was 13, playing in Europe most years with them, and recorded 2 CD's. As well as jazz I enjoy playing funk, latin and rock. Having just graduated at the Academy of Contemporary Music I am looking for a career that utilises my talents, preferably as a performer, a session drummer or a clinician. Interested!.........give me a shout.
