I've been playing drums on and off since I was 16, I'm not very good but I can keep a beat and count to four. I play in a three piece blues/ covers band, we don't gig much but we rehears a lot. We don't gig mainly 'cos we can't be bothered to go out and get the gigs, so we just rehearse because we enjoy playing for ourselves.
Like my cycling, I'm all gear an' no idea sort of a drummer, one of the few benefits of being a bit older now is that I can afford any drum kit I like within reason, so I have some really good gear, it don't make me sound any better, but it looks might fine.
There's enough musos on here to form The Cycle Chat Big Band.
