ABOUT
I have been drumming for 13 years, with much experience performing live. I studied music at the Academy of Contemporary music for 4 years, achieving both a Diploma and a 1st class honours at Degree level. After learning from top UK drummers such as Toby Drummond (Former West End drummer, who has recorded with the likes of Sir Cliff Richard and Sir Ray Davies, and who has studied with Bob Armstrong and Jim Chapin), I have understanding of a wide range of genres and styles, from what I have previously listed and more.
