SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Thanks for taking the time to look at my profile.
I little about myself, I am a 36 year old extremely passionate drummer I absolutely love the drums. I played a little bit in hi school but life got in the way and I didn’t pick up the sticks again until about 5 years ago. Since then I have been practicing around 6 hours a week. I like to think I have the basics down pretty well now but I’m always striving to play better and learn new things behind the kit.
I love playing along to bands like Nirvana and the Foo Fighters and many more! Dave Grohl, Abe Cunningham and Taylor Hawkins are some of my big influences. I do enjoy playing all kinds of genres though, laid back bands like Coldplay or Pink Floyd. I definitely prefer heavy music though.
I put a big emphasis on dynamics and playing for the song, I wont bash the hell out of my kit for no reason or add random crazy fills that don’t fit the music.
So here’s the catch I haven’t played live but I have experience playing with other musicians. I am a very dedicated drummer and I will put in the time to be the best player I can be, I don’t have kids so I have lots of time to practice haha. Anyway thanks for reading my life story!
Ps I am interested in playing with anyone who needs a drummer, casual or more serious it doesn’t matter I would just like to get out there and meet other like minded musicians!
I am in a cover band at the moment so getting a lot more experience under my belt. Would also like to play some heavier stuff like hardcore punk.
