I am a music producer that started out playing drums from early childhood on. I've got 30 years drumming experience. Started @ 12 years old. If maths something of a skill, you'll be able to guess my age! Although most guess my age to be early to mid 30s. I mention this as some bands would appreciate the description of my age to narrow down their preference and to help not waste anyone's time, so, you're welcome!
Along the way I picked up other talents such as singing background vocals in various bands along the way. Since 2014 I became a lead singer recording my first single 'Standing Tall' which was about my near death experience earlier that year seeing me lose my left leg and breaking my back in several places. Worried about not drumming again, I set out to build a recording studio to regain my chops again and prove everyone wrong that said I would never play & sing again! Until now and continuing, I still write/record/release my own music with co-writer/lead guitarist as Pole Electric working on our 5th studio album. With 4 already released, here's links to hear my vocals as I sing all of the songs, as well as my drumming + songwriting as I wrote and co-wrote all of the songs we've done YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/@poleelecric4922 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3JMiePLBqrlZKGcApXHQqA?si=unZJm4H4QTWkk7jLVTQdyg

EQUIPMENT
BEHIND THE BACKLINE - DRUMS (permanent setup)
Tama Superstar drumkit (3 toms, 1 floor tom) + mix of Sabian, Paiste & unknown but suitable brands/choices of cymbals in my bag of magic tricks.
VOCALS AND PRODUCING (permanent setup)
(Some of the studio gear)
Avalon 737SP Preamp
U87 style overhead mics
Rode NT5 pencil mic pair (hihat + ride mic)
Sm57 x6 (for the toms + snare top/bottom)
Shure Beta 52A (for kickdrum)
bla bla bla bla bla (lots of equipment)
Fully soundproofed recording + separate control room & remote amp room.
[The above equipment does not leave the studio].
I have a second Tama Rockstar drumkit 4 piece that I use for live gigs. My studio kit is permanently setup along with all of my other studio related equipment.
I say this to avoid misunderstandings incase someone thinks "bonus, we can use his mics with our pa"!
Nah! If a band can't afford mics and/or live sound hire for the gigs n rehearsals, then, probably best to ask someone greener & eager to learn.
