INTRODUCTION

MY NAME:Peter L Jones
MY LOCATION: London, UK
MY OCCUPATION: IT Professional
MY BAND: I wish...
MY WEBSITE: www.drealm.info
MY FIRST INSPIRATION: Cozy Powell
MY INSPIRING/FAVORITE DRUMMER: Couldn't say: I don't end up listening to good drummers but to good music. At least, that's my excuse for a lame answer

If I had to name one name it would be Cozy Powell (and Dance with the Devil), as above. About half my music collection is Marillion and Ian Mosley is a good drummer, too - really plays for the song. And then there are the drummers on some of my jazz CDs that just blow me away...
MY MUSIC STYLES: Outshoots of 70s rock/prog/metal/blues/folk/etc
MY SUPPORT/MENTOR: n/a
MY STORY: I had an acoustic kit years ago... briefly. Living in a terraced house, that's not a good thing: the house is too small, to start with. (Noise wasn't so much of a problem: the motorway outside was usually louder.) So I gave that up for... a few years. April 2007 I got myself a birthday present of a TrapKAT: cuts down the space and noise (we've moved to a nicer area...). Still getting to grips with everything all over again. I'd had a few lessons first time around and I can read music and charts sort of okay-ish... Since I started jamming on NINJAM, I've rather dropped any formal practice regime, though. However, I'm playing better each week, I reckon, and playing with other people is brilliant!

MY PICS - GEAR - AUDIO/VIDEO

Nice carpet...
That's my TrapKAT, control switches (red), a couple of kick triggers, hihat pedal and an FCB-1010... things have moved around a bit since to make it more comfortably. I've also got an Evolution MK-249(2). Entirely MIDI-based.

MY AUDIO My soundclick site has some really boring stuff on... But my NINJAM jams gets regularly updated with recent jam sessions.
