Hi!
I've been playing drums professionally since 1993. I have played for various bands over the years, both live and in the studio. I have toured extensively throughout the UK with a number of theatre companies. I have a V-Drum studio setup at home and record remotely from there. I also have extensive experience working on commercial studios with my acoustic setup. I'm happy combining acoustic and electronic instruments to create hybrid setups, as required for the gig. I consider myself to be a versatile drummer, having played everything from Rock to dinner jazz, Jesus Christ Superstar to Gilbert and Sullivan! Let me know what you require, and I'd be happy to help!
