About this user
I began playing drums when I was 10 years old. I really didn't become serious about drumming until I was around 16 or so and began to jam with a lot of different people, my brothers included. I was in and out of bands until finally joining a band that did shows around Southern Ontario from 1989 - 1993. I began to get discouraged with the music biz by late 1993, so I put away the drums for almost 17 years! I had decided to go back to school and become a "working professional", got married and changed my whole lifestyle! The marriage ended 3 years ago, (still on good turns though!) and last year decided to give the drums another go! So the videos you see here are me with just over 1 year of playing again!
I will be posting more videos soon - featuring my new drums and new band! I am enjoying playing again more than ever - now I wish I hadn't lost those 17 years - but life takes us down different roads!
