    Hi there,

    My name is Lee and I've been drumming for the past 20 years. I start drumming when I was as young as 6 and have been in a number of groups/projects along with some session work too. Most my experience comes from an original band I spent over 10years with. The style we played initially was american college rock and then to emo/alt rock.

    We gigged all over the country, doing a few tours with smaller artist such as La Rocca,Giveamanakick,The Revs,Jack L, Miracle Bell,Frankie Lane, Blink and a few others. We played all the usual venues around the country, The Village,Whelans,The Button Factory,Belfasts Black Box and Laverys Venue,Time, Dolans, Monroes and many more.

    We also played a number of tours over seas including the UK,Spain,Portugal,Prague and Germany which were organised by smaller a&r's and independent labels. Our biggest success was in Germany where we did a two week tour and finished up at "Stop the Killing Festival" in Stak, Smollen, Germany with America's Lord Bishop(Harlem NY City) and his Dirty Jams.

    I am based around Kildare, have own transport, full kit, mics,pa ets and looking to get back into the gigging scene. As I'm currently unemployed, I have no other commitments and would be able to give this my full attention. I'm reliable, honest and very easy going. I'm afraid I have no vids on youtube for you but if you search The Re-Offenderz you will see a few vids of some of our tunes. If you would like, I could send you a few of the Ep's I have done to give you a better idea.

    Cheers,look forward to hearing from you,

    Lee

    Hey just wanted to find out an example of what songs you cover. I'm based in the southeast and have about 15 years experience - covers and originals. Pm me if you don't want to post publicly.
    Thanks.

    Well lads,

    I'm a drummer from Carlow . I have tons of experience in bands both covers and originals, would love to be a part of this.I'm really easy going and very easy to work with. I have pro gear and i have my own transport.

    Here are some clips of me playing:

    Everlong - Foo Fighters (no mic)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EypyF74Stik

    Bottoms up - nickelback (w/Mics)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BbIgQc2zMs

    Ive got a dark alley - Fall out boy(w/mics)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REOrSu1bWAc

    The last 2 are only demos for my youtube, just messing around trying to get good sounds.

    I'm willing to play absolutely anything in a covers band so no worries there. And if yas want me to make a cover of a song of your choice and upload it to youtube as sort of an "Online Audition" thats no problem at all just let me know

    Just one thing, where in the south east are use based?

    Any other questions ya want to ask fire away!
    Look forward to hearing from ya!
    Shaun

    Hi Guys,

    I'd be interested in finding out a little more about your gig. I'm in the south east myself. I've trained in Berklee in Boston. Own kit, own transport and have been playing over 20 years and am often doing recording work.

    I'd like to come and audition when you are doing them ,


    Thanks,

    Robin
