Hi
Well when i was even younger then i am now i used to love watching drummers play, i don't know what it was but drummers just looked so cool and the drumkit its self just looks amazing but the main thing was it looked so fun. So i asked my mum if i could get drum lessons but my mum thought it was gonna just be a faze so a couple of years went by and i was still asking for lessons, so my mum and i came to an agreement that when i start secondary school i could get drum lessons.
Well i couldn't wait and when i had my first half hour lesson i knew straight away thats what i wanted to be, A drummer! I loved it and was learning very quickly.
So hours of practice and different drum teachers went by and i get to where i am now. I'm a very dedicated drummer and push myself quite well,
My plans for the future are to become a great drummer and help teach and show people to express there musical talent.
But until the future comes who knows what will happen....

My kit at the moment is a Red Pearl Export 2001 series, I use pearl hardware and Pearl Elliminator Pedal, 18" Z Custom medium crash, 20" Sabien Pro Sonix Ride, 14" Sabien Pro Sonix Hi-Hats, Pearl Chad Smith Snare Drum, LP and Toca percussion, Evans and Remo Drum Skins and Vic Firth 2BN Drumsticks.

Well i like to be a versatile drummer and so i study and learn various styles of music and so i have many influences and to name them all would take ages. But what i look for in a drummer is someone who doesn't do 20 minute drumsolos just to show off but drives the band instead of just keeping time. A good drummer is someone who has the talent and uses it well to create a great piece of music and its muscians like these that inspire me. I like to experiment with the drumkit and when performing i often throw my sticks up in the air and jump onto my bass drum and play, its stuff like this that i also like to see in drummers because its rare and different. Its alot more entertaining to see a drummer perform rather than just sit at the back of the band keeping time and i try to put this into my playing by watching various artists and learning from them.

I'm not currently in a band as my last band recently split up, but i have been in many bands of various styles and love to perform to a crowd.
When your on stage performing and entertaining a crowd with your band its alot of fun and to hear people singing lyrics from your songs is just an amazing feeling.

I wish i had the money to buy all these but i'm afraid i don't at the moment.
Premier Artist Maple kit, Lots of percussion (its always good to experiment), also i would like to upgrade my cymbals so i can experiment even further.
