ABOUT

Hi there ladies and gents!
So I've been a pro drummer and vocalist for quite some years.
I've sold records internationally, toured internationally. Domestically I've been on BBC Radio and TV also been on the domestic festival scene.
After a couple of years of being a session musician and in-house studio drummer, I'm looking to get back out there.
In my video section you'll be able to hear me playing drums, on Call Me Up you'll also hear my backing vocals.
If you think I fit your brief, or indeed just want to say hello, feel free to give me a shout :)

Influences

Growing up I was blessed to have a variety of music in my ears.
Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Earth,Wind & Fire, Hall & Oates, Lionel Ritchie, Queen, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Prince, Boys 2 Men
Then when I could buy my own, I got big into Jamiroquai, RHCP, Eagle Eyed Cherry, Daft Punk, Justin Timberlake, pretty much all pop from 90's and 00's
When I went to music college I got educated...Led Zep are a massive influence, Foo Fighters became a big thing for me too. Incubus, The Killers...You could talk for days in this section

EQUIPMENT

I play a Tama Rockstar Custom kit 22"x20" bass drum which I normally play using a single pedal, although I do have a double. 12" rack and a de-tuned 13" hanging tom. I do have a 16" floor tom but having played in many tight spaces my current set-up sounds awesome and doesn't take up much room. I use 13" A Custom hats (crisp), 17" A Custom Fast Crash and a 15" A Custom Crash with a 20" Sound Formula Ride. I also have 10" and 12" A Custom Splashes. I use a fairly tightly tuned Stainless Steel Tama snare.
