I am an enthusiastic,experienced drummer and I enjoy all styles of music.I have been playing for 14 years. I am reliable and driven to perform and do what I love with other musicians. I drive a car and i am very used to taking my kit around with me. I have a full pro kit and can bring to practices and gigs. I can also supply drum mics/vocal mics, basic stage lighting and P A if needed. I am in the london and brighton area and am willing to travel for gigs in both as i stay in london most weekends. Other than that I am friendy, easy to get on with and am always pushing to impress and please whoever I am working for. I am more than willing to do dep work as well as work for a band/singer on a long term basis. Many thanks for looking.
