    HI. The reference to executors: If you
    want, I can make and write down in
    studio of party of drums for your
    demos. If your composition already
    has party of live drums I would like
    to offer the sight and improvisation
    to your composition. It is interesting
    and unusual. If you use electronic
    tools and samples I would ask you
    to reflect and present: as in your
    ready tracks my parties of live
    drums would sound. It is very
    interesting. It removes ambitions. It
    forces to think differently. Let's try?!!!
    I the drummer. I play 18 years,
    worked in creation and
    arrangements more than in 170
    musical compositions which are on
    the Internet. It is work with several
    groups in which I played and I play.
    At In one time in 5 groups. All of
    them have the written down
    albums. But we would like to have
    possibility to publish albums on
    foreign labels. And still my personal
    desire, can be dream: I very much
    would like to have vacancy in
    foreign group. Because life of the
    musician-it change of currents,
    calms and storm, inflow and at
    music ocean. I address to you with
    the request. If in your project or
    working in studio will be a vacancy,
    or can be in projects of your friends-
    musicians there will be a vacancy for
    interesting, maybe a crazy
    drummer. That I will be very glad to
    your letter with the information on it.
    Yes, sometimes I write at the wrong
    time because the project can be
    already completed. But there is a
    miscellaneous. I Simply ask you not
    to forget about me. I think, if you
    invite me in the project, I won't
    disappoint you and your listeners. It
    speaks not only my experience but
    the sincere approach to
    business.THANKS. write on e-m gooddrummer_6(at) h o t m a i l (dot) c o m

    just wanted to share, if you like these bands, i think you'll like sons of noel and adrian... they're part of a group of bands called the wilkommen collective, but these guys are my favourite of that group. by far.

    I saw her tonight paired with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. SHE IS UNBELIEVABLE LIVE! WOW, her passion, ethusiasm and talent ooozes out of her, from the moment she steps out on stage, to the moment she sings her final note. She did a autograph signing session afterwards. Meeting her was like meeting a ray of sunshine. I told her, her music makes my heart happy. I was beaming from the first note!!
