    Ninja Drummist's Interests
GeneralI love God, music, teaching, my wonderful girlfriend, my family, my friends, talking, films and geeky japanese tokusatsu stuff.

About me:
Visit my official web site Cloud9Mission.com

My name is Lewis, some people call me the Ninja Drummist. Music is my life and Ive been playing since I was 3 years old. My first instrument is Drums and I was taught by Freddie Wells. I also play Bass, Guitar and Piano.

I teach drums at Greenbank and Lea Manor and I design a few websites. I play in a few bands: New Groove Formation, The Claret Sky, Jazz Allstars and a currently nameless Drum n Bass project.

Ive also been working on a solo project featuring my other instruments called The Cloud9 Mission. Other bands Ive worked with include Headfly, The Wellington Bootles, Magic Rising and Farouche.

I wish I led a more interesting life but, unless your a fellow musician, you'll probably be bored here lol. On the odd occasion that Im not practising teaching or gigging, I design websites (click here to see some sites I have designed).

If you wanna know more, then you'll have to send me a message cos I hate writing these things lol!

So why do they call me the Ninja Drummist? Check out the videos of me with New Groove Formation below:

Heres a few more videos of my drumming. Please forgive the poor quality as I recorded most of them on my phone. Also, this is not my kit, Im using the teaching kit at Greenbank.
