Two things maybe. First my Dad had played drums when he was younger, although he never had a kit around home there was a snare drum in the shed. Then when i was about            15, I was at my friends house. He played guitar and his brother played drums. So I had a bash on his brothers kit. From then I was keen and my Dad bought a Dolphin kit and             taught me, playing along to Daddy Cool.

 

 

Keep it simple to begin with. It wasn’t so much about lessons for me, I did them for about 6 months. It was jamming with friends as often as we could. We would progress together. They would get better at guitar and I would be getting better a drumming trying to keep up.

 

I played mostly in fast hardcore or grindcore bands, although I was always into rock n roll. I was doing that on and off up until we started in 2004 the band im in now, Eddy Current Suppression Ring. Although its not as fast, I still get everything I need out of this band. My brother is on guitar and the other two guys are the best to be in a band with.

 

 

an old Rogers late 60’s kit. 20” kick, Dynasonic snare, floor tom, Sabian 21” Hand HammeredRaw bell dry ride and Zildjian New Beat hi hats, which have lasted for 10 years or so now. I keep it simple, and less to carry.

 

 

Been done. Everything from The Avenue house party in Windsor to Headlining Meredith last year.
