MY HISTORY AND EXPERIENCE

As with m,any drummers I started playing from a fairly early age.
Initially self taught, I learnt predominantly from playing along to music and watching concerts on
video.   This, I believe gave me a strong sense of ear.  I would say at a young age I liked all sorts of
music and heard a fair bit of my fathers influences which were predominantly jazz and blues. By
coincidence, him not being a drummer, my father was into the likes of Buddy Rich. Hard to say that
influenced my but I guess you never know.
I spent many hours practicing any way I could. Eventually I got hold of a practice kit which allowed
my to practice many more hours without fear of worrying about how much noise I was making.

Fast forwarding to when I was about 17/18 I started to have serious lessons with Paul Francis
(former session drummer- Steve Harley, Rolf harris, Bill Wyman, Tucky Buzzard, Gena Washington,
Guilbert O Sullivan).  This expanded my horizons massively and set me on a road which would
eventually lead to me becoming a tutor too. Through Paul I opened up to a variety of styles, and
met many other world class drummers, including Chuck Silverman, Dave Weckl, Steve Smith, Dennis
Chambers, Thomas Lang, and many others.

As time progressed and I gained wider experience with bands, and gained my guildhall grades, my
tutor began encouraging me to become a tutor myself, which I ultimately did.

I have gained a lot of band experience both live and in the studio. I have worked with many original
bands, working hard to get recognition and also many covers and tribute bands.

In more recent times I have started to perform many sessions and dep gigs for other bands.  This is
a very rewarding area and keeps you on your toes!

My gigging has taken me all over the Country including many gigs in London.

I still of course consider myself a student of music.  I'm constantly working to improve my game,
and still discover new and exciting musicians on a weekly basis.
