Drummer

London

Hi, I'm Rory and I play the drums. I'm currently based in London but spent most of my career playing with bands in Ireland. I have more than 20 years of performance and recording experience across an eclectic variety of musical styles and genres. While I'm definitely of the rock background I've always been keen to widen my abilities, so you can easily find me playing funk, jazz, latin, reggae, electro and more. I approach music with the song in mind first and foremost, I'm more interested in laying a solid groove instead of cluttering up a track with unnecessary fills and licks (although I'm happy to oblige on that front too). I currently play with London based noise-niks Struggles With Syntax, but am keen to play with anyone who needs a good drummer!
