ABOUT

Hi
I am an experienced gigging and recorded drummer. I was trained in Big Band Jazz reading drum charts in London by legendary drummer/teacher Max Abrams.

Have worked with Danna Gillespie (UK) Mick Clarke Band (UK & USA), Chipperfields Circus (UK) Steve Waller guitarist ex Mannfred Mans Earth Band) John Bently (UK Squeeze) The Clunk Orchestra (Melb) The Cairo Club (Melb) Hobsons Bay City Band (Melb), Annie Smith & The Bossa Boys, Mike Hirsh & Friends Quartet.

Have also performed on Cruises, UKTV, Radio & UKTheatre work.
In addition to Drum set, I also play hand percussion instruments and can sing BV's.

I am interested in musicians who can play Jazz, Funk, R&B Reggae ect. Reading music charts is great however, chord charts or a very good ear is a must have.

If your interested in creating great music and having fun, please give me a call. My studio www.mcsrecordingstudio.com.au
is great to rehearse and record our music ... :)

If interested, please call me on 0417-383583
