Drummer (kit) or djembes, and amateur bassist with some keyboard skills (backing synth and harmonium etc). Plenty of live experience (some has been recorded, with one album out so far) and some studio time. I'm either into music with meaning or just plain fun (80-90s 'hair metal' etc.) - sometimes those worlds actually meet. I can work with very electronic dance/trance tracks through to stadium rock, and out to unplugged acoustic folky / traditional vibes.

EQUIPMENT
Roland TD20 Pro digital kit with the lot (twin kick pedals) (will play acoustic kit too); high quality African djembe played as a pair alongside a fibreglass caliente - the effect is somewhere between and African and a Latin sound and is very versatile. For bass guitar I use an Ibanez ATK 300 (a Stingray clone) and SDGR500 (very 80s-90s sounds) 4-string basses with Yamaha DXR12 digital PA speaker used as amp/fold-back.
