Adrian Treacher

Bio

I am a freelance drummer available for dep work of any nature. I have a full repertoire of material I have accumulated over the years playing for many bands and artists. I don't require any amount of rehearsal unless you feel it is essential to do so. I am a fast learner and my approach is to play correct and accurate first time with very little effort. In terms of fees, these are negotiable but, I do not expect unrealistic amounts. I read and sight read if and when required. I use Yamaha Maple Custom Dave Weckl series drums and all equipment is of a pro standard. Plus I have my own transport. I have a portfolio, references and testimonials available at any time. Please pm me on here or email at [email protected] I look forward to meeting you. Ade

Understanding life in society and communities and to be realistic with the message the musician is trying to say i.e. John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) Kurt Cobain as an example.
