Hi....My name is Danny Lockwood. I play the drums. I've had the privilege of making my living doing this for some 30 years now.
I present this website to you, in particular, to promote my CD's : "...a few of my favourite grooves" & " Live @ The D.A.C. "
I encourage you to click on the Music icon for some downloadable samples from the record.
