About Me

Hey, My name is Simon. Im 22 and a Passionate Musician who primarily plays drums (I have some Keyboard and vocal skills) and does a bit of freelance gigging for various other bands/musicians. And as some people say, "Simon also has a passion to talk about drums/music *the crowd laughs*". I love to talk a lot about music and how certain musicians/bands inspire me. I'm someone whos easy to start a conversation with most of the time since I love to "build" upon topics. I play drums for a solo artist musician named, Steve Edwards. (www.myspace.com/steveedwardsmusic) I also play in a 4 piece punk/rock/pop band named, Simple Day (www.myspace.com/simpleday). I'm also a passionate christian that goes to Equippers Church. Also check out my website www.simonmcdowell.comOh and one other thing is I love to eat Porridge because its damn good for ya! But its always important to add that pinch of salt or else it really does taste like crap :PMan fights bear
