ABOUT

I am a 25 year old drummer with a great passion for pretty much anything musical. I have a BA (Hons) in Music Performance and have a lot of experience within the industry.
I have been playing the drums for the past 13 years. I have a great amount of experience teaching, writing, recording, and touring with several bands.
The band I most recently played in were featured on BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, and every local BBC station across the country. We played in some great venues such as Manchester Academy, Leeds Met Uni and Gloucester Guildhall.
I also have experience depping for a 8-piece Soul/Motown covers band which was great fun!

Influences

I grew up listening to a lot of heavier stuff (as most people seem to) such as:
Ozzy/ Black Sabbath, Black Label Society, Slipknot, Alice Cooper, Machine Head...the list could go on and on.

Nowadays I'll have a go at listening to/playing pretty much any genre you can throw at me.. I know a lot of people say that but I really love Raggae, Dubstep, Pop Punk, Rock, Pop, Funk, Metal (yep still) and many more.

The two genres I can't be doing with are Country and Prog...sorry not for me!
Some of my favourite drummers include:
Stanton Moore
JoJo Mayer
Ginger Baker
Steve Gadd
John Bonham
Buddy Rich
