Drummer

Southampton

I'm Charlie from Southampton, I've been playing drums for well over a dacade now. My current group is an international cruise ship vocal harmony group witch I play E-drums and sing in. I'm a capable sight reader, have lots of studio experience. I also MD my function band, create all the backing/click tracks and manage all promo material. I dep for a large number of bands (tribute, wedding, theatre) and am well used to last minute sight reading gigs and willing to travel. Some highlights from my career so far include playing the end of season party in Avoriaz at 1800ft above sea level overlooking the mountains playing to a huge crowd and people skiing by. Playing the headliners theatre on P&O Iona and traveling across the mediterranean. Opening the cyprus rocks festival on the main stage right on the beach and being able to tour the UK with my originals project. I love to play and I'm easy going, I pride myself on getting the job done to the highest standard, taking on musical direction and playing to the part not an ego.

Charlie's Reviews

'Picked up the set really quick, and he's got great feel, 1000% would recommend.'

'He took the chart, played it perfectly and made the part lock in with the band. Charlie is a great person to work with and really works hard.'
