**Looking to join a full time function band as a drummer**
Originally from London, now located in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, Australia.
An experienced, capable, enthusiastic, reliable, committed musician with over 20 years experience in studio & live performance. Playing throughout the world, within a great number of styles of music.
First and foremost a drummer, but also a competent pianist, rhythm guitarist and play some sax as well.
To me, a good musician is more than being the most technically proficient - listening to others, attitude and approach are just as important!
Of course, I would love to be a world touring rock god, but being in a high quality function band, playing music for a living is my current goal!
Thanks for stopping by :)
