Drummer

Henley-on-Thames

I have been playing since I was 13 and have been running my own band (Sir Duke) since 2010. I have played in the Bucks County Youth Jazz Orchestra, Straight Eight & Chain Gang. I have dep'd in bands such as Mission Impossible, Groove Company and Chemistry. I can play any style from Funk, Rock, Metal, Jazz & Classical. I can read music (drums) so can fit in straight away, even without any rehearsals. Give me a shout! Thanks Russell

Russell's Reviews

Dear Russell, We just wanted to say (a very belated) HUGH THANK YOU for organising the band and playing at our wedding! Thank you for making our evening so enjoyable - everyone had such a great time and absolutely loved the band! We're so glad you were part of our special day. All our love, Kelly & James xx (See photos for hand written note)

Thank you so so so much to you and the band Russell! Everyone has been saying how brilliant the band was. And wasnt ‘it’s coming home’ fantastic at the end!! Cant believe you guys could just play it off the cuff - you’re all very talented!! Vicky & Patrick (Mr and Mrs Dunaway)
