I simply enjoy playing, writing and recording music, and I do it in my low budget home studio in country Queensland Australia. Essentially I'm just a drummer that played in conventional bands (Mainly through the 90's). These days I'm trying my hand at recording and mixing, playing all the instruments myself and programming synths on some tracks.
I have a basic "Thunder" brand drum kit, with Sabian, Zildjian, Meinl, and Paiste cymbals, "GT" electric guitar (strat style), Yamaha bass, Yamaha keyboard. I run through various mixers and record on a Korg D888. Then transfer to PC and mix using either "Cool Edit Pro2", "Reaper", or "Energy XT". I have a small 5mx3m studio to work from. Small, but ok for 1 or 2 people.
