Quicko McBrain - Drummer

The Legend that is Quicko Mcbrain, together with Adrian Smith founded this great band back in 1995. Since then he has hit the snare drum no less than 12.3 million times and every single one of those hits was BANG IN TIME. This man SCARES drum machines .. which all would have malfunctioned put in the same situation. Definateley the father figure of the band, (bloody kids !) a muched loved and respected figure by everyone who has had the pleasure to meet him. As well as all those snare drums this man has also drove the band bus (together with Mr.Hurry) around over 13 countries and 17.3 million miles without a wink of sleep. Quicko is partial to the odd flutter (get away!) and has, on more than one occasion, had to be physically removed from Ladbrookes or he would have missed the Gig. A HUGE Sunderland Fan, a huge fan of music, Quicko now lives in the Midlands where he ponders on one of life's toughest decisions .... "do I get a JAG or a GRANADA ??? .. i tell ya man !"
