Drums.

ABOUT

Have to say I'm pretty terrified by the number of profiles listed as drummers whos equipment list doesn't include drums.

Not a cover band but throwing one or two into a set is always fun.

Generally looking to gig once a month but more certainly isn't out of the question.

Looking to play around Sothern Ontario and wouldn't be opposed to going beyond that. Generally weekend gigs but also working towards some 3 or 4 day "Weekend tours". Past gigs have included Newmarket, Barrie, Alliston, Toronto, Oshawa, London, St. Thomas, Windsor, Guelph and others.

Recording, looking to get recordings down before heading out too far. If its not ready to record (demos at least) its probably not ready to play in front of people.

Influences

The Jesus and Mary Chain, Mudhoney, Pixies (but not the new stuff!), Dinosaur Jr., Violent Femmes, Nirvana, Weezer (first two albums then forget it), Joy Division, Gary Numan, Ramones, Circle Jerks, Adolescents, Buzzcocks, Minor Threat, The Cure, Twisted Sister, The New York Dolls, The Replacments (early stuff please), Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers.....I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton.

EQUIPMENT

Whatever I need I've got somewhere around here. I totally lean towards vintage gear....considering the bands I've listed that should come as no surprise. What I can't afford I build to spec because I don't want any crappy digital replicas of ancient fuzz! Most important thing I have is a kick ass Bass Player (but don't ever tell him I said that),
