Verified profile

I'm a 26 year old drummer from Reading, Berkshire and have been playing drums and percussion for more than sixteen years. I am available for freelance live and studio work and video recordings. I specialise in Rock, Grunge, Metal, Hip-hop and Soul. I have a Degree in Music Performance (BMus) from the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, having been taught by the likes of Frank Tontoh (Amy Winehouse, Jack Bruce, Brother Strut) and Pete Riley (Republica, Guthrie Govan and Phil Hilbourne). I am a member of the Musician's Union and have appropriate Liability Insurance and enhanced DBS in place. I have my own equipment, transport (car and 7-seater crew van) and a friendly, professional attitude.

Connor has played drums for several concerts and rehearsals with my choirs. He is professional, good with pre-event communication and an excellent musician. I wouldn't want anyone else to drum for me!
