ABOUT
Hi, my names Andy Norris, I'm a drummer from Oxfordshire, based in Harwell from a home studio, I'm primarily a drum teacher by day but have scatterings of studio sessions in various genres. I studied drums along with music business at ACM (Academy of Contemporary Music) for 2 years, leaving a more rounded musician and not just a drummer.
I am used to working to deadlines and almost always under time pressure, I'm used to working both with and without a click, and have worked both infront of the desk playing drums and behind it as an engineer, mostly in a studio but I have done live too.
Musically regardless of whatever pays the bills I will always love blues and funk, and really why I'm here looking to get back into a band where I can do what I love doing with a committed band but in a more relaxed environment.
