About Me

Well i'd go for the cliché "what's there to say?" but instead i might as well write some crap down otherwise there's not really any point.I'm a musician and a thinker. I love playing my drums, whether I be recording stuff for youtube or playing in a band; I totally love it. I'm also picking up guitar now seeing as I won't be able to take all the drums to university, just my trusty practice pad.I think it's fair to say that I'm an explorer at heart. I love spending time in the lakes and mountains of cumbria, and my dream is to walk on the moon and in space.Despite the fact that I'm atheist, I consider myself quite a spiritual person and find the fact that we're all alive on this lush oasis we call Earth in a tiny corner of the vast universe quite amazing. I'm really looking forward to studying Astrophysics at university which will incorporate this and my thirst for exploration. It's also helpful that I enjoy studying maths and physics I guess ^^

My Interests

Drums, basketball, playing music in my band, fell walking, adventuring generally :D (can't wait for backpacking across europe this summer), playing music (including now guitar). I can't imagine life without playing music. I'm also quite a big nerd... I enjoy my physics and maths and reading up on the space race: the gemini and apollo projects particularly.

My Blog

Drummage! (By far, the best type of -age!)

Yep a new blog deedly, here goes. Music is my life at the moment, I like loads of funky stuff, but I love my drums. They are god given, loud, and contain many shiny objects. Objects are all very well ...
