Bio
I am a professional drummer based in Bedfordshire, currently enjoying a busy schedule gigging,recording & so on. Though mostly booked to play jazz gigs,i equally enjoy playing other genres of music ie soul,funk,blues,pop etc..basically if it makes me want to tap my feet,i want to play it. I've always been a big fan of the various fusion styles,whether it be jazz-rock,afro-jazz,latin-jazz or good old fashiond jazz-funk. This goes back to the days when i used to watch,listen to & 'study' Morrissey-Mullen,the jazz-funk group led by Jim Mullen & my father way back when i was but a teenager. I play with a variety of people & bands,some regularly & some not so regularly. Some of the fine musicians i am happy & lucky to have had the opportunity to groove with are: Tony Smith,Mike Gorman,Geoff Gascoyne,Jo Caleb,Jez Franks,James Graydon,Rob Rickenberg,Alex Bennett,Hilary Cameron,Carl Orr,Gunther Kuermayr,Chris Rodel,Richard Niles,Richard Cottle,Geoff Castle,Jerome Davies,Rachel More,Dick Morrissey,Paul Eldridge,Henry Lowther,Pat Crumly... When i'm not gigging,i also teach at a number of schools in & around London... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......Visit www.moblyng.com to make your own!.. ............................< -

Sounds Like
A culmination of thousands of sounds, grooves, styles, lessons, courses, clinics, opinions, recordings, emotional expressions through voices/instruments & passionate 'conversations' between musicians.. the result: i'm not always entirely sure; as long as i know i'm always listening hard & trying to find & help create a groove....

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT ENTHUSIASM ...

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT DETERMINATION ...
"We all have DREAMS. But in order to make DREAMS
come into reality, it takes an awful lot of DETERMINATION,
DEDICATION, SELF-DISCIPLINE, and EFFORT."
~ Jesse Owens - Legendary Olympic Champion
Jesse Owens, the son of a sharecropper and grandson of a slave, achieved what no Olympian before him had accomplished. His stunning achievement of four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin has made him the best remembered athlete in Olympic history.
FAILURE CAN NEVER OVERTAKE US IF OUR DETERMINATION
TO SUCCEED IS STRONG ENOUGH!
With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,
Richard
