I'm The Best Keith Moon-type Drummer In

Mistreating Your Drum Set Is Just One Step Below Child Abuse

I've Wanted To Be A Drummer Since I Was About Five Years Old. I Used To Play On A Bath Salt Container With Wires On The Bottom, And On A Round Coffee Tin With A Loose Wire Fixed To It To Give A Snare Drum Effect. Plus There Were Always My Mum's Pots And Pans. When I Was Ten, My Mum Bought Me A Snare Drum. My Dad Bought Me My First Full Drum Kit When I Was 15. It Was Almost Prehistoric. Most Of It Was Rust.

Sometimes You'd Come Up Against A Brick Wall... Or Sometimes You Go Into A Fill And You'd Know Halfway Through It Was Going To Be Disastrous.

Drumming Was The Only Thing I Was Ever Good At.

There Were Times When I Blundered And Got The Dreaded Look From The Lads. But That Was A Good Sign. It Showed I'd Attempted Something I'd Not Tried Before.
