I started playing drums at age 11. My dad bought my first kit and got me some music lessons, and got my older brother a bass guitar player and we had an instant rythm section. We had school bands and regular playing with guitarist friends, and had a good intro into playing in bands from an early age.
When I was a bit older, I was ready to hit the live music circuit and played in cover bands for several years all around Sydney and regional NSW, and a few tours up to QLD.
I played in a few original bands where we did studio recording sessions and found a real interest in the recording process.
One of the bands recorded a full album on 24 tacks at Rich Music Studios in Kent st Sydney in December 1990.
