I have been playing the drums since the age of eight. I recieved private tuition from a proffessionally trained and working musician. I have lots of performing experience ranging from jamming nights to headlining gigs. I also have some experience in studio recording. I am currently a student at Hitchin Academy of Music and sound. my course involves specific instrument training, general musicianship and rhythm studies, keyboard skills, eartraining and songwriting techniques, I graduate in june 2012. my main influences would be Chad Smith, Kieth Moon, Jeff Pocaro, aaron spears and jojo mayer. my second instrument is the guitar although its not at a professional standard as yet. I read drum charts and have a reletively good understanding of music theory. despite my age I am a very confident and capable musician.
