Trad-drummer08 + Musician in Clare

SEEKING

ABOUT

I am looking to find a regular band that gets paid gig. I am very experienced at playing jazz, Latin, R&B and fusion music. A band that plays any or all of these genres would be great.

I am new in Co. Clare so I am looking to play near by.

Most drummers think the faster and louder the better but my approach as a drummer is to connect musically with the bass player and support the band to put on the best performance possible.

It's not how fast or loud you play but has to be emotionally and musically played.
What counts is how you play in a musical situation.

I also take rehearsals seriously and like to utilise the time properly so songs are well learnt and prepared for a gig.
