About Dan

Pro drummer recently finishing with Carnival Cruise Line, chart reader, versatile skills. Looking for opportunities in the live music scene.
Drummer
London

Emerging from my second consecutive inaugural contract aboard the incredible Carnival Celebration, Carnival Cruise Line's flagship vessel, I'm currently looking for diverse live drumming opportunities in the UK or abroad. I am resolute in my pursuit of perfecting my craft, expanding my musical presence, and ultimately pushing towards my ultimate aspiration of playing the worlds biggest stages with the worlds biggest artists. I've been playing for 17 years and live for 14 of those. I've picked up many skills along the way, and can work with different musicians from all different backgrounds. I'm a very adept reader of music and love using my SPD-SX sample pad to bring an amazing collaboration of studio and live music to life. I'm insanely dedicated to my craft, spending hours practicing each day and constantly looking for ways to improve and adapt to new playing styles, techniques and methods on and off the kit. I've played to many different audiences around the world and my work has ranged from Cruise Ship stage bands, showband orchestras, rockbands, UK pantomime, function gigs, wedding gigs, theatre productions and much more. I'm ready to put my skillset to use in any band that requires it. I can't wait to hear from you about whatever exciting project you have going on. I have a kit with everything I need, including my SPD-SX, I have a full drivers licence and car, a valid UK passport and working ship and land visas to work in the US. Pretty much everything to get me in or out of the country for work whenever and wherever the job requires.

"Dan was an absolutely fantastic performer and clearly loves his work. He took time after the shows to come and speak with us and told us things about the cruise performers and their lives we would never have known otherwise, we look forward to seeing him on another ship soon!"

"Dan is an incredible performer and musician. He dedicates a lot of time working on his craft. He's very easy to get along with and is a great team player. I wish him luck in every venture he goes on to, and he has a place in any band I manage in the future."
