Not counting on drums, what do you do for fun:

I like to travel when I can afford it, recently trying to take up paragliding, spending time on canal boats and seeing my friends and partying.

Teacher:

My Dad

Highlight of your career so far:

Faraday festival, Barcelona. Any gig where I get to see a bit more of the world really.

Drumming strengths:

I think my musical memory is my strength. Being able to play varying styles and slot straight in with new bands.

Advice for up and coming drummers:

Stick with it, its 100% worth going over the boring stuff to make you a stronger player, also I'd say dont let one hand do all the work. Try and maintain equal strength in touch between your hands. Also learn the heal toe and double sticking should do the trick I'd say.

Busy

Well at least I tried and dont regret a moment of it.
