Connected Profiles:
My Mission is Simple. Have fun and play great music.
I have been obsessed with playing drums the majority of my life. There is a reason why drums are the oldest living instrument – and in my view, music comes alive with them. I have 15 years live experience, 5 years teaching experience. My outlook on adding drums to a song is to keep it simple and always play with feel. This is a view I take forward in studio and live environments.
I have been lucky enough to be taught by some of the best in the business including; Kieren Pepper (Prodigy), Jason Bowld (Fightstar), Dominic Greensmith (Reef).
Having gained grade 8 at aged 16 I was keen to progress into further education in Drums. I went on to Study in Bristol at Bristol Institute of Modern Music going on to get a Diploma in Drums and Musicianship.
