Verified profile

Here's how I can help: - Session recording: Awesome drum tracks from my home studio. - Live performance: Need a drummer for a gig? - Tutoring: Achieve your goals with drum lessons for all abilities. - Servicing: Taking the hassle out of tuning drums. - Audio, Video & Graphics: Record a song, shoot a video and design a logo. And why you might hire me: As a live performance artist, I have hundreds of hours of international touring experience from venues like the O2 Arena in London and the Bus Palladium in Paris to festivals such as Bloodstock and Lakefest in the UK and Summer Breeze in Germany. My studio recordings have been released worldwide with a variety of artists but most notably Fire Red Empress, who have been featured in Classic Rock, Kerrang and Metal Hammer magazines and played on BBC Radio 1, Planet Rock, Kerrang and Scuzz TV. Through my professional function band The Groovy Cats, I have become well-accustomed to working closely with corporate clients to ensure the smooth running of their events, including live broadcast television for the BBC and Children In Need; formal gatherings for Rotary International and the Royal Air Force; holiday entertainment for Butlins and Parkdean Resorts; and many other special occasions in bars, hotels, wedding venues and even ski resorts across Europe. As an educator I began by volunteering for The University of Sheffield Students Union Drummer Society, which I founded in 2005. After graduating I moved back home to Shropshire and I continue to teach students of all ages.
