My name is Mark, but i'm also known as Nick, which I prefere. I've been playing drums for over twenty years and in that time I've played several different drum makes: Maxwin, Pearl, Remo, Sonor, Yamaha and Premier, but I've only used one cymbal make: Paiste. I've played in several bands both in a live and studio capacity, I also write lyrics too!
