WHO I AM

Playing drums is the best thing in the world, and whether it’s recording for artists, or teaching people how to play, I’m grateful to have the opportunity to make a living out it.

As a session drummer I’ve toured the UK and Europe, playing from small venues to big festivals. However, my focus is recording drums for artists all over the world, be it from my studio in West London, or working in world-renowned studios such as Abbey Road, and A.I.R Studios amongst others.

I’m also an experienced educator with almost 20 years helping students achieve their goals, be it teaching 1-to-1, small group or large group settings, in primary schools or music colleges or in my studio. Whether it’s working with children or adults, beginners or more advanced students, my mission’s the same and I’m passionate about it.

Similarly, I have also been published by Hudson Music, Modern Drummer, and Drummer magazines, and offer quality educational resources on this website.
