Drums & drumming

Thanks for popping by!

I’m an experienced, steady, and easy-going drummer – a drummer that plays for the song.

I’m a mature player – meaning plenty of gigging experience, no ego, and a reliable approach. Solid, open-minded and committed, with good gear and transport. I do my homework, show up on time, and learn from my mistakes. I know how to listen and contribute – on and off the kit.

Recent past project…

I teamed up with The Terraplanes Blues Band from January 2024-May 2025: 68 gigs, 28 rehearsals/recording sessions, and 9673 miles driven in England, Wales and Scotland.
In the Summer of 2024, we recorded a live album of originals and covers at the Temperance, Leamington Spa to a sold out, intimate audience.
