I started drumming at 10 years old and have been drumming ever since. I've been in various bands over the years, mainly playing Rock and Indie covers. My first ever band when I was 16 started writing originals - this is something I would very much like to get involved with again one day.
I have quite a tight and crisp performance style and generally strive for a precise and focussed percussion sound. My grip is either traditional or match grip depending on the feel / style / intensity of the song.
I'm normally at my happiest and produce my best playing when I feel that I can easily adapt something and add my own signature.
