ABOUT

I am a drummer in my 50's with a variety of pro level gear both electric and acoustic. I am not a pro drummer but I am from a professional background so understand commitment and hard work to deliver a project as needed. I can offer reliability and an ability to learn songs before entering the rehearsal room. I really enjoy a wide variety of music and am open to playing with all ages. I am now semi retired so have both time and energy to commit to a band project.

Ideally I would like to find a regularly gigging acoustic trio or quartet singing covers from a variety of genres. I can played a stripped back acoustic kit (plus other percussion) which accompanies a couple of guitars or a guitar and bass really well. Please get in touch if I sound like the kind of drummer you might be looking for (chrissyclay22bigpond.com.au)

EQUIPMENT

Gretsch and Tama acoustic kits plus a smaller Sonor AQ2 Jazz style kit. Also asmall acoustic set up with low volume cymbals and just a snare drum and small floor tom. Two electric kits both Roland (TD15 and VAD706). I often use the TD15 for rehearsing due to ease of transport and speed of set up. Kit pictures are attached
