PENWAR'S DRUM SITE

Avast ye Currs

I am the illustrious David
Drummer, Musician, Producer, Radio play addict, Sound FX Junkie, Director & Sound Engineer... but not exactly in that order.

My life consists of writing songs, learning how to do new and interesting things to my drums, Playing in my Pirate Band, trying to manage my Pirate Band and looking for any sort of work that will advance my chosen career path or give me some money without having to revert to squaller.
