Hey! I’m Ollie and drumming has been my passion for over 15 years. Since picking up the sticks at age 10 I have played in orchestras, originals bands and worked as a session drummer for both live and studio settings. I graduated from BIMM Manchester with a BA Hons Degree in Professional Musicianship in Drumming and now play in the professional function/party band Soul Food and play for several artist in and around the midlands. I also give drumming and rhythm workshops and teach at a drum school.
