I am a drummer of fourteen years, based in Birmingham, United Kingdom. As well as drum kit, I play congas, djembe, bodhran and other percussion, plus guitar. I am not currently affiliated with any single band or artist but am available to session and/or deputise. I intend to commit to a more permanent project in the near future. My listening tastes are very varied, which is reflected in my playing style: I range across a broad spectrum of influences from funk and fusion, through to rock, pop and world music. My passion is for creative rhythm, whatever badge it wears. I enjoy working with talented, motivated musicians who have fun with their music. If this is you, why not get in touch?
