About Oliver

"If you're in need of a brilliant drummer, reliable guitarist and fab radio guest, you'll find it in Oli." - Beth Atkinson, Jam Radio

Drummer

Bolton

Public liability insurance of £1 million

“Oliver has been a valuable asset in numerous musical projects since I first met him at Hymers College. He consistently shows a lot of helpful traits as a session drummer during his time at The University of Hull, being able to quickly adapt to musical cues and instrumentation, and having a good understanding of dynamic changes, and song-writing momentum. His success and creative song-writing in his band, King Orange, reflects this."

Oliver was a fantastic drummer. He performed all tracks well, came to the session prepared and added drums to a song last minute upon request.

Customer questions

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

- Wedding Venues - Bars, Clubs and Underground Venues - Universities and Musical Theatres

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know. If there are significant changes to the event, I ask that you let me know as soon as, and I will aim to respond to your message with a hopeful resolution.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

No, this is not included as part of my services

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 30-45 minutes before the performance time, however this may be more if more equipment is requested.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

As standard, I will provide cymbals, snare drum(s) and breakables (e.g. cymbal stands, pedal, snare stand, etc...). I am able to provide all drum equipment, however, I ask that if you decide to book me that you give me at least one week's notice before the event date to get all equipment (e.g. drum shells, cowbell, tambourine, etc...)

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes, as an experienced session drummer, I have a good track record of learning original and new songs in good time. I only ask you provide tracks within these time frames... 1-3 tracks (2 weeks min) 4 - 5 (2-3 weeks min - depending on track length & complexity) 5< (4 weeks min) If urgent/unexpected (i.e. outside this timeframe), I may charge a higher fee.
