About
Hey i am a young drummer from Nothamptonhshire playing in a number of local bands. Other than playing in a few local bands i also create a fair bit of solo work, which often is not very good yet i still decide to do it anyway. If you want to check it out at http://www.myspace.com/richardgbaxter (please be kind!).I have a Gretsch Blackhawk EX series drum kit with (unfortunately) some cymbals which need updating! My main musical influences are the late, great Buddy Rich and Elliott Smith and My Brother and Sister, who i have grown up with going to see their gigs! Other than Drumming i quite like to go on long muddy bike rides over some stupid, crazy distance and i am a keen footballer, just finishing my youth career with Halse United.I am an avid supporter of Middlesbrough FC from which my Family originates (well the town not the football club). My Favorite Artists as you can most probably see consist of Elliott Smith, The Cribs, Imperial Teen And Death Cab etc etc!
