(Sorry I did reblog your post before, but then it was just ridiculously long and I felt bad for clogging up everybody’s dashboard haha)

Haha don’t get me wrong, I can’t play them anywhere near properly yet but I’m really enjoying learning :) Hmm why did I choose them? I guess I’ve always been attracted by them, there’s just something about thrashing away on drums for hours that I find way more satisfying than I ever did trying to find my way on the guitar (I used to play that a little, but alas I was truly shite.) Also my good friend is an amazing drummer, and has a kit in his garage which I can practice on until I save enough to buy my own so that’s cool. Ahh that sounds great, and I did check out your friend’s myspace - he’s awesome! You have any videos of your gigs at all? I’d like to have a butchers :)

You know what? No, we don’t, but I really feel we should. I’m in a position where I can rent out decent cameras, free of charge, for whenever really so I kind-of should sort something. We’ve got a few more gigs coming up this month (one for Beach Break Live which I’m kind-of excited about) so hopefully I’ll have something for you before the month is through :).

No worries at all! I really love your style of writing; it’s very informative but with an engaging personal touch. Ah thanks, I just might take you up on that :) I’m going to see A Day To Remember on Friday so I’ll probably have a go at reviewing that! If the…

:) Well you’ve definetly achieved your aim! Yeah I know excatly what you mean, about 70% of NME is written like that, with journalists seeming to take a Mighty Boosh surrealist angle on reviewing a pretty straight forward album really, it does get quite tiresome. Aw thanks a lot, I checked out your general blog aswell and can say the same about you! I see your in a band too :) I’ve just started learning the drums but would love to play in band when I sound less like a hyperactive child let loose on their mother’s kitchen utensils. Do you gig much?

Oh wow, that’s awesome! I’ve always wanted to play the drums, I kind-of can, but not properly. Yeah we do actually! Averaging about a gig a week at the moment. I got pretty lucky actually Dan (lead guitar, lead vocals) has been playing solo for years so he’s already got a bit of a reputation and a massive repertoire so we had a good base to start on. It’s amazingly good fun, especially when we do wonky pop covers. A few week’s ago we did Beyoncé’s Halo :). You can listen to some of Dan’s solo stuff here, if you’re interested! What made you choose drums?
