Drummer

London

Public liability insurance of £10 million

I'm a pro drummer/percussionist based in SE London. I play a wide array of styles having played with several interesting acts, Live drum and bass band, African marimba band playing traditional Mozambique, Zimbabwean music, Original 60's Ska, hip-hop, funk, neo soul, folk, gypsy swing and even heavy metal once upon a time. I moved to London from Yorkshire about 12 years ago and have been working as a professional musician since then. I'm looking for some interesting acts to play with and interesting people to make music with. I also have a studio at my house and I'm able to offer remote session recordings.

Chad Pitt-Murphy's Reviews

5 out of 5

We booked Chad as a dep for our drummer for several gigs. He was a pleasure to work with and brought a fun, professional vibe to the shows. He learned the songs quickly for rehearsal and has a great feel on the drums and locked in nicely. Will definitely work with him again.

Chad is an amazing drummer, he has a very professional attitude and is a pleasure to work with. He has played for our band Mista Trick on tours through the UK and Europe including top UK festivals such as Glastonbury, Wilderness and Boomtown.
