ABOUT

I'm an experienced drummer currently looking for a band that plays music similar to math rock or post-punk. I grew up playing jazz, funk, punk and feel like math rock can really utilise all of those playing styles but I'm open to playing other styles of music as well. I've been playing drums for about 15 years, currently play a Gretsch Renown kit and have my own transportation. A little over a year ago I had to move up to Rocky for work and the band I was in, Plainview, split up since one of our other members also moved overseas. Now that I'm back in Brisbane I'm super keen to find some more like-minded musicians to write some music and play some gigs.
Here are some links to other bands I've played in:
