Drummer

Leeds

Matt is an official endorser of Dream Cymbals in the U.K. He has played drums all his life, getting his first kit when his was just four years old and has been playing drums for over 25 years. His originals band, Late Night Legacy, is currently touring up and down the country with their DIY attitude and dedicated work-ethic. Matt is instrumental to their fantastic stage presence and tears up every stage he plays with sheer enjoyment and professionalism. In 2010, Matt earned at place at Leeds College of Music to study Jazz, a genre he knew would push him to become a better player. Studying under Dave Walsh was instrumental to his development and Matt really relished every part of the course, studying Indian music and composition. Matt graduated with a high 2:1 in 2013, and has since gone on to perform in a number of bands, recording on a number of singles, EPs and albums. He has played all over the UK, in Europe and North America. Matt is very flexible and versatile musically and is very accommodating when it comes to give you what you want. Drop him a message if you have any questions or need more info.

Matt Exton's Reviews

Matt is an absolute gent and our studio session was a lot of fun! His playing was so tight and we got all the tracks done very quickly! Would highly recommend.

Matt was part of our wedding band. He organised a great band to play all of our favourite songs. He was very good at communicating and was so organised that we really had nothing to worry about (musically anyway!) on the day! So happy we hired Matt!
