versatile, energetic performer

Looking for a drummer?

Book Me For A gig

I bring professionalism, skill and enthusiasm to every show I do. I take performance very seriously and will always show up prepared for both gigs and rehearsals.

I am known for my ability to play to a song without overpowering the music and other players. I’m very flexible and will work with you to ensure my groove and fills complement and enhance your music.

If you’re looking for a solid drummer that can play a wide range of styles and percussion instruments in both standard and odd time signatures, reach out for your next gig.

What I bring to every gig

Skills & Expertise

Solid grooves & rhythms

Whether it's a solid drum set groove, rhythmic hand drums or a mix of percussive ‘toy’ accents, I lay down the sounds needed for recordings and live performances.

Different meters & modulations

I am confident playing any time signature you need. I can also incorporate metric modulations to create an innovative percussion performance.

Versatile styles & instruments

With my experience in various music styles – including rock, progressive, jazz, fusion, country, pop, blues, world and folk – and my wide range of gear from drum set, mallet instruments and hand drums, I help achieve the desired sound for each song I play.

Creative collaborations

I've collaborated with numerous artists and bands on rock, jazz, country, pop and folk recordings and live performances. I bring experience and originality to the creative process to help develop musical concepts into reality.
