Dean Wuksta
I am firstly a drummer with an interest in songwriting and recording. Been playing drums from an early age, learnt guitar at high school, played in lots of different bands all over Australia as a drummer and have been writing/recording music over the last 5 years in perth WA.Band/artist history
Lots of bands, both original music and covers from Tamania, melbourne, Perth. Last original band I was with in perth was 'Blue Shaddy' playing alternative, funk, surf, blues and releasing two CDs with them.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes, I currently play drums in a cover band called 'Infusion'. We mainly do corporate and private functions, no particularly special moments up to now, although, getting paid properly is a fairly special moment
Your musical influences
It's mostly laid back, I just record what comes out that day really, songs are often finished in a few days, that is from initial inception to a mastered product ready for upload. It is jazz influenced, 80s pop, bit of rock at times, and even instrumental movie type creations. I like recent artisits like Dave mathews, John Mayer, and also oldies like Toto, Steely Dan, Bozz Scaggs, something that grooves.What equipment do you use?
I use a 002 digi rack using Pro Tools software on a windows based system, rhode Mics like the NT2, NT3, NT4, shure 57s, ibanez bass, pearl session series drum kit with A Custom cymbals, Fernandez semi, seagull acoustic, behringer midi keyboard with reason adapted....amongst othersAnything else?
Ummmm....well not really, I'm just on a journey with sound, trying to become more honest with the material I write and then try and craft it in to a semi-reality on my hard-drive. And, I don't own a Playstation, Nintendo or X Box.Admin
