• DRUMS/ PERCUSSION FOR LIVE, TOURING AND RECORDING WORK

    Available for any kind of playing work with over 20 years experience having played at some of the world’s top venues, studios, and at some of the world’s biggest festivals.

    Jazz and funk are my passion but I play all styles and genres from rock, pop, classical music, hip hop, drum+bass, latin, music theatre to world music.

    I’m equally at home in the studio as I am playing live out on the road. I’m an Improvising musician with fluent reading skills and am capable of learning anything very quickly which allows me to ‘dep’ and cover anything at very short notice.
