ABOUT
I am currently on drums for:
Darktown River (original Alt Country)
Find us on Spotify
Undersea TV (original progressive, dreamy, pop/rock post punk) https://soundcloud.com/user-5094472. Recording pending.
Experienced drummer and mature players. I regularly travel to Brisbane for these guys. We work together to weave that magic tapestry with a view to recording and gigs, what better thing to do with the time you have on the planet than create something special.
I have quality gear and transport, very reliable and driven. I’m not a really hard hitter...that’s why there are mic’s.

Influences
I like originals and covers with melody, groove and flavour, music with soul, sometimes a little dark, coloured Pop and Rock accessible, with an edge. Everything with feeling, catchy and danceable.
Influenced are diverse reaching from rock, pop and soul, alt country and shoegaze sounds. Influenced by The Cure, The Smiths, REM, The Bats, Slowdive, Th’ Dudes, The Able Tasmans, The Church, Psychedelic Furs, Cold Chisel, Tom Petty, the Go-Betweens, The Waifs, Calexico, Son Volt, Lambchop, (live at XX Merge is my fav album & DVD), Richard Hawley, Richard Swift, The Badloves, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Stranglers, Oasis, Paul Kelly, Paul Dempsey, U2, Son Volt, Hoodoo Gurus, INXS, Crowded house, Died Pretty, Divinyls, Foo Fighters, Fuel, Stereophonics, Teenage Fanclub, You Am I, Bonobo, AC/DC etc plus a feel for late night Alt soul, bordering dance, Lounge & Jazz, through to the forever ballads. I like to help people be lifted, transported, enjoy their time, sing and dance, or cry and forget about life for a while.
I'm seekig a band with direction and purpose, not into religious agendas. If this is a little refreshing, msg via Bandmix.

EQUIPMENT
More stuff than you can throw a stick at...
Kits - a few. Good solid warm sounding gear with stage presence: DW, Pearl, always wood shells. I started to rethink the contribution electronic percussion can bring so I now have a Roland spd sx Pro pad and speaker. They are amazing!
Cymbals: Paiste 2002, + more
Drum mics, Sticks, Brushes, Mallets, Rods....adaptable.
