It’s been ages since I’ve played in a Big Band, so I really enjoyed having a go at the Ultimate Big Band play along that was released a few weeks ago. Playing in a Big Band was a great opportunity to learn how to read charts properly, drive a large ensemble and get comfortable with a swing feel. This track is called Out For The Count by Laurence Cottle and is available for free download if anyone fancies having a go:

I am available for drum lessons in Manchester city centre if anyone would like any drum tuition, and I am also available for hire as a freelance drummer so please get in touch if you need drums! I’ve been having a few issues with my contact form of late but if you try towards the end of next week it should be fixed.

Thanks!

Tom
