What are you going to talk about/play at the Show? My love of drums and its application to rockabilly music; the importance of style and originality in oneself; and playing.

Are you planning to catch any of the other performances or information sessions? If so, what are you hoping to get out of it? I learn every time I watch another drummer play.

Are you planning to get any new equipment yourself? What are you in the market for? I'll check out all the new gear and see what they've got!

What advice would you give to a beginner drummer attending the show? Practice and make sure you play with other musicians any chance you get.

If you could drum with any performer, who would it be and why? The Rolling Stones, I know all the songs and can relate to the music.

When and where can we catch you at the Show? 28 May, Rosehill Gardens.
