Hello there fellow music lovers. I am offering my services as a session Drummer and Vocalist for extreme metal bands in need of...well those things. Ive been playing drums for as many years as i can remember and can play many different styles of music. Funk, Latin, bits of Jazz and of course, Metal, Extreme metal, black metal, prog metal etc etc. I play drums in a band called Chaos Incarcerated, and also sing on our EP's, Albums because we cant find a bloody permanent vocalist (are you up to the task??) My main influences on the drums are virtuoso players such as Virgil Donati, groove gods such as Dennis chambers, and super fast bastards such as Trym, Gene Hoglan and many others. I listen and play a very wide range of music so dont hesitate to contact me even if you play in a Zero 7/The Beatles/Rachmaninov cover band. Ive had good deal of experience singing live and in the studio. My influences range from many different extreme vocalists, notably, Sir Chuck of Death, Ishan, Devin Townsend, God Michael Akerfeldt and many others. Anyway enough of that, let the song samples and drum videos do the talking! Also I am based in the Midlands, but can travel reasonable distances, but of course there can be exceptions depending on the circumstances! Thanks alot for reading, please dont hesitate to contact me if you are interested!!! Rich :) Email on
[email protected] or use the myspace messanging feature.

Also, I have an online drum column on Chops From Hell if you wish to view some more video's. I will be updating this hopefully quite regulary with more stuff (when i get that damn camera back) Enjoy!
