ABOUT

I'm a former drummer with gigging bands when living in NZ, straight up and super chilled.

I'm not really looking at joining another cover band, but would if it was the right muso's and the right vibe (Maybe a more mature group). If you have multiple weekly night gigs and it's your source of income, then I'm probably not your guy (Just being honest). Would prefer someone looking to do originals or just other musos looking to see where things go.

The thing I really loved about drums was locking in with a bassist and rhythm guitarist and sitting in the pocket. It created such an awesome platform and now want to do this now as a guitarist. I love playing music for the pure joy of playing, not to be the next big thing, boost my ego, or any other reason. Would prefer a group that is along the same lines.

Probably could have said more but happy to have chat if you want to get in touch with me. Won't feed you any garbage and hopefully the same goes.

**Update** - please no requests for Drums. I’ve helped a couple of people out, but just not my bag anymore. Hope you understand.
