Drum Lessons

[keefmoon]

I know I mentioned this in another post but hey...
If anyone is looking for drum lessons, I have a few vacancies going at the moment due to circumstances I won't bore you with.
I'm young, enthusiastic and qualified (diploma with distinction in drums and musical performance) and have bags of recording, touring and teaching experience.
I live in Billericay and offer competitive rates.
Hope you don't mind me posting on here, but I'd much rather teach a couple of Shrimpers than Hamsters.
My number if you should need is 07968 442156, or drop me a line through here.
Piers.

Just being selfish and sticking back to the top...sorry.

I started with drums but discovered the 808 and 909 drum machines and promptly picked up a guitar to play along to. I wish i'd kept those machines they're worth a bomb now!

I feel your joy, but you made the wrong choice my friend!

any takers for the lesson? Drummers seem to geenrally have been the sticking point for every band idea I've ever had!!

Train 'em up!

Our old drummer once tried his hand at a bit of keith Moon shennanigans. We was finishing a song and was doing an outro of Judas priest theatrical nonsense when he whilst spinning his stick like a majorette stood on his drum seat for...about a millisecond..before careering over the whole kit and landed flat on his back and ! whilst on his back licking his wounds he saw the ride cymbal floating down like a guillotine which gave him a nasty gash up his nose and into his forehead. he always looks like his frowning now.
Oh for the good old days of Spinal Tap when drummers would explode leaving only a green globule residue.

keef, I was a drummer for about 8 years myself, just wondering if you ever got into any world instruments? That was one area that I always wished I knew more about, as they always seemed exciting and exotic, but the only one I've ever tried was a djembe (sp?) from Ghana that was a gift from my aunt.

 

[keefmoon]

You spelt djembe right. I've done a bit of that too. I recorded some for our last album. Other than that, I only own a pair of congas really. And I hardly use them.
That story about the cymbal falling on that guy's head is pretty cool. That's what you pay your money for as a punter!
I have had a couple of people ask about lessons, but nothing solid yet from this board...

ive spoken to keefmoon about lessons, and heard some pretty cool stuff his band have done. the snippets ive heard are worth a listen, i'll be buying the album.
ive been playing the drums for a couple of weeks, will be looking more seriously into lessons when i get back from my holiday.
is anyone who's in a band and doesnt have a drummer? im not very good yet but im a quick learner. i did three songs in a small school gig the day after i first sat behind a kit.
anyone need a drummer? if so what are your influences, where do you live etc? pm me or email me at olisadavey@hotmail.com
cheers

What's the band keef? any links to online music etc?

 

[keefmoon]

We're called The Boxer Rebellion. Here's a link to some stuff. There's some audio files and link to some videos and a video documentary too.

I was in HMV in Southend the other day and you'll have no problem getting our album if you want it. They had it.
