Portfolio

London/Reading based session drummer and Sound Engineer. Drummer of 15 years and recent Bmus Graduate from the University of Westminster. Rock, Pop and Electronic music is my main passion but have studied, played and enjoyed a wide range of genres. I Drum, Perform and Compose in Theatre and Circus shows with companies such as Diverse City, Cirque Bijou, Extraordinary Bodies and Graeae Theatre company.

Most of my work involves using my Hybrid Drum kit to add Foley samples, Audio commentary, Backing tracks and anything else to a theatre/circus shows. All of this controlled, integrated and triggered by myself to add seamless transitions or big impact moments to the show.
