Hi, and thanks for visiting my site.
Being a reader of music I have studied a variation of of styles, ranging from Jazz to Latin, Ballad to Funk to R n' B -including Drum and Bass
I have played the drums for over 15 years, trained by London session drummer Steve Saunders -Top tutor: 07769 655 337 (UK).
I'm available for freelance work. So if you're looking for a drummer, check out the soundbytes.
If I had a pound for every phone call I get that starts "Me and my mate Dave are starting a band... our influences range from Oasis to, er, Oasis ... we're going to get signed...etc." I'd be a rich man. If this is you, please don't bother.
I DO NOT DO FREEBIES. Except for blondes with big tits. Maybe...

-BIOGRAPHY-
Inhale (1994-1998): London Prog-rockers
Inhale were my first band - an outfit formed during my time at 6th form college. I co-wrote several songs for the band, contributing to the prog-feel we developed in our later years (i.e. after we got past covering Paint it Black and Voodoo Chile!) We did extensive gigging of the Camden circuit, and brought prog cheese to the good people of London's West End at The Rock Garden, before disbanding for University.
Violation (1998-2000)
Towards the end of my University course I joined this highly impressive Grindcore outfit, based in Northampton. Violation were well-known within the underground metal circuit - and with a reputation for showing up better known bands. With 3 albums under their belts, the last of which, Aggression Download (1998) was favourably reviewed in Metal Hammer. During my time in the band, we played many venues in the Midlands notably: Nottingham Rock City (3 times, twice as headliners), The Sound House - Northampton, The Woughton Centre - Milton Keynes, Princess Charlotte - Leicester, The Underworld (Camden), The Ruskin Arms (East Ham).
Bands played with: Medulla Nocte, Rainmaker 888, Raging Speed Horn, Kill 2 This, Earthtone 9, Orange Goblin, Stampin Ground, Pist.on, Knuckle Dust, Zarathustra, Lysis, Evil Kneivel and Freebase.
