Contribution towards Paranoid Earthling After receiving his first electric guitar, he took the initiative of assembling their first drum kit which was made out of wooden boxes, biscuit tins and bull skin. Shanka Samarasinghe and Mirshad Buckman started to rehearse with this equipment and then were joined by the other two members of the band, Asela Bandara and Dhanushka Samarasinghe.
