I have been playing music in bands and a good stint of deejaying too for about 24 years. But even before then, I remember as a kid and teenager always 'air drumming' and banging out beats on pretty much anything and everything, which I still do to this day. I hear rhythms everywhere in the world, from the metronomic chugga-chugga of a train ride, the pitta-patter of rain on a tin roof to the unorthodox rhythms of bird song. My brain speaks music.
I have always been inclined to the rhythm section of the band and have played bass and drums in bands of various genres: rock, dub, reggae, punk, grunge and metal.
I have been honing my skills as a drummer with my Doom project Cactus Galactic as well as programming drum tracks for us to work with and to share. I am always learning, and this will be the case to my end of days. I love all good music in many genres and have a particular passionate obsession with rock and heavy metal.
My favorite drummers are:
Bill Ward, John Bohnam, Dave Lombardo, Joey Jordison, Niko McBrain, Darkside, Matt Halpern.
Likely so many more have influenced and impressed me, like my own drummer bandmates and even a busker playing bongos on the street!
Based in Rockingham, Western Australia I can take students from the Perth Metro area including Mandurah.
