I'm a bass player and drummer with enough gigging experience to know it's a long way to the top...
Currently gigging as often as possible playing bass in an originals country/folk outfit. We've played Tamworth these last couple of years and made a CD.
I've always had an isatiable urge to drum and have been studying this instrument now for about 4 years. I enjoy drumming along to my favourite rock songs. Can also tap out a good beat on my Cajon for something completely different.
Have also occasionally done some rhythm guitar and harmony lead work (e.g. Bad Company's Can't Get Enough).
Achieved AMEB 3rd grade piano and 5th grade theory while at school.
