ABOUT

Based in North Essex, I'm passionate about all things drums and drumming related. Experienced with both covers and originals bands (performing and recording). I'm looking to take it to the next level with committed and talented musicians, who want to create and perform excellent music. I teach drums at De Rosa Academy in S Walden and am a pupil of Daniel Glass, Jazz drummer in New York. Also experienced with all that other stuff we need to do to get anywhere (social media, merch, radio, recording, festival bookings, photography and so on)
