Welcome to Scotty's page.
The Sensible Drummer (Hah!!)
Well, this is my page. What do say about me? To start with I was born in Glasgow in 1971 and have stayed ever since, I mean who wants to leave such a nice place? I've played all sorts of instruments including flute, clarinet, a wee bit of Timpani, violin and keyboard, but like all sensible people, I left the musical field to hit things and become a drummer. I used to be called 'Animal', and if you've ever seen the muppets you'll understand what I mean. When it comes to beer, give me Guinness and lots of it. I'll quite happily drink until I'm a gibbering wreck (won't take much- ed;-), although that has all but stopped for the moment. Other than drumming I enjoy running (half marathons when I'm not injured), playing squash and some light weight training. Well, I don't think this page will stay like this for long once the other guys see it, but since I run this place they can 'Bite Me'.
