London. Epic.
Drumming strengths:
Versatility. I shoot for solid with a deep pocket rather than flashy and busy. I pick my moments for that stuff.
Drumming means to me:
Expressing myself. I was created by a creator to create for my creator.
Advice for up and coming drummers:
Play what you feel. If you love solid beats, then play them with all you got. If you love metal and blast beats, then blast away. Just be who you are.
