Drum FreakO

About Me

Drumming has always been a part of my life,been wanting to learn drums since primary 2 but didn't have any chance til secondary school when I got my first kit. One of my aim in life is to be a working musician and work with other great musicians! Always will want to take my drumming into a whole new level and also not forgetting who to play for.

Currently majoring Drums(Popular music) at LASALLE - College of Arts, also teaching drums at Award Music Studio and gigging mostly with Strikeforce(myspace.com/strikeforcesg) my percussion band. Completed and produced my 'demo' album entitled 'IMPRO' in late 2006. A 2 piece band formed by me and my friend Stuart playing the bass. Kind of playing simple but catchy and nice grooves. Video is here and hope you guys like it!!
