Experienced drummer in live and studio work, from indie-folk/ alternative music to rock and pop.
Matt Hardy's profile picture
Drummer
Edinburgh

I’m a drummer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I’m currently a touring drummer with Lanterns on The Lake, performing double drums with Philip Selway of Radiohead. I have a wealth of studio experience and have worked with some top end producers such as Bramwell Bronte (Sam Fender), Guy Massey, Timothy James Allen (Portishead) and more. My live experience has taken me across the UK and into Europe and I’ve had recorded works aired on BBC 1, 2 and 6 music, as well as internationally.

“Matt is my go to drummer. He knows how to make a song special. He's versatile and knows all the spaces to play and not to play, he's professional always, a pleasure to work with and a whiz both behind a kit and in engineering and producing just the right sounds. There's no one better for me.”

"I have worked countless times with Matt and am looking forward to working countless times more. His drum parts are musical, precise and supportive of the rest of the instrumentation to suit the song as a whole. With me, he has always favoured groove over clutter and live takes over edits, which suits my taste entirely. As if that wasn't enough, Matt is also a one-stop-shop for percussion and drum engineering/production. A top guy and fantastic musician.”
