Hi! My name is Shane. I'm 22 years old and I'm an experienced drummer living in Port Talbot. I'm looking for fellow musicians to start a long term project with.
I was born in the West Midlands, which is home to many greats of the music industry - Sabbath, Priest and Slade to name a few. I've been playing drums for 11 years this year, and in that time, I've had experience in gigging, writing and recording, and over this time, I've been in both covers bands and original bands. I've played established venues to a few hundred people, and I've played smaller venues to maybe 10 or 20 people.
I love all types of music, and due to being self taught, I can play to pretty much anything. My main love is rock music, & I'm looking at going down the rock route. As long as the music doesn't scream at me, I'm alright with it! My influences are quite a broad range of bands - From Volbeat, to slash, right through to older bands such as Bon Jovi. (To be honest, I'm more of a classic rock guy myself; Guns n roses being my all time favourite band!)
I currently have a total of 0 band members! So I'm looking for anybody. Just to let you guys know, I've just left a band as I was in a situation where I felt as if I was constantly being ignored. I don't want to be in that situation. I've only been in this band since September.
I'm very committed & very driven to making good music, & gigging as much as I possibly can. Therefore, time wasters just aren't an option! Also, someone local with a rehearsal studio nearby would be beneficial (that's another way of saying that I can't drive yet... And I've only got bus travel on my side right now!!). I must just point out that I would travel for the perfect opportunity. I don't expect you guys to put all of the effort in, and I don't expect to put the effort in all by myself.
I must just point out something quite ironic - due to money issues, I had to sell my drum kit in November 2014 and I still haven't managed to get a new one because I've been here there and everywhere the last few years, but I guess hiring one shouldn't be a problem if any gigs come up. Maybe you guys have a solution? I do have an electric one for the time being too if needs be. This is Rock n roll...! So if you're interested, please please please get in touch!
