Biografia
I'm now retired and have been ticking off things from my bucket list. One of these was learn to play drums.
I started having lessons around 18 months ago with a local drum teacher. She has taught me to read percussion music and is a fantastic teacher. Very patient. I got my first drum kit just before Christmas 2016 as a combined 40th Wedding anniversary/ Christmas present. It is a 6 piece Mapex M series in birch. It's around 9 years old but is in beautiful condition. I've also added some Istanbul Alchemy cymbals that I bought second-hand. These sound fantastic. I changed out the drum heads which were still original Remo to Evans 360 dry. I also fitted a ported bass reso head.
Musically, I have been a lifelong Pink Floyd fan, hearing them first in 1969 while still at school. As a teenager, I was very much into Hendrix. My tastes have changed over the years and I currently listen to and enjoy music from US band, Blackberry Smoke, (who I saw live in London March 2017) and the fantastic London Grammar whose female singers voice is just ethereal.
