End of Reason

Just got into a Dubai, UAE based band called End of Reason as a drummer.

A few weeks before getting the opportunity of being the drummer for End of Reason, I quit drumming for a while and packed up my drums, as I didn't have a place to play my drums, and none of the bands were interested in even trying me out as a drummer (they had friends, family etc), therefore no practise and no enthusiasm. Drummers out there, dont judge me, heh.

Robin Everett (Rhythm Guitarist) got in touch with me a few weeks later, as I knew him from a band we were in before, giving me the opportunity of drumming for End of Reason, I was ecstatic, well ecstatic was an understatement, as these guys have a fantastic reputation here. During my excitement, I was insanely nervous for two reasons, the fact that i had to take Majids (MagicAQ, former drummer) place on the throne, which is a high expectation to live upto, and reason number two, being able to live upto the expectations of the other band members considering I haven't played the drums for a while and was still pretty rusty.

Well luckily after the first jam session, I set a satisfactory impression on the rest of the band mates (hopefully), and got along with them socially.

Had two jam sessions and soon after we immediately got into recording the new track Bite Your Lip and Fake it. You can make out the difference in drumming from previous tracks and the latest one.

Thats all for now.
