Name: Richard (29, Haywards Heath, UK)

Instruments/Skills:
Drums – 20+ years of experience (hobbyist, now stepping forward)
Lyric Writing – emotionally layered, trauma-informed, dynamic and raw
Beginner Vocals – willing to learn whether my voice fits anywhere.
Keen to learn about the Production process and arrangements.

Creative Identity:
I’m not here to be a session drummer or play two hours of covers (although that could still be fun!). I want to build, contribute emotionally, and help craft a sound that hits people where it hurts or heals.
I’m:
Deeply emotionally connected to my writing and drumming
At home in click-tracked/ambient/sampled hybrid sets
A creative powerhouse when momentum hits (but I don’t overwhelm collaborators — I get that headspace is sacred)
Learning every day — willing to mould, grow, and grind
---
What I’m looking for:
A band/project looking for a drummer and creative partner
Someone confident in production/arrangement willing to collaborate and teach a little
A team who values heart, honesty, and sound that means something
Regular jams/practices (within Sussex/Surrey area), or online collab with a view to shows
If you’re building something modern, emotionally rich, or full of life and punch... Let’s talk.
I'm ready.
