Drummer/percussionist with 20+ years experience from Melbourne, Australia. I've toured Australia and the USA, playing everything from house shows to music festivals! Over the years I've played on a number of studio recordings from singles and EPs to full length albums. I can confidently play a wide variety of genres from rock to folk to jazz etc!
In my studio in Melbourne's inner north, I'll record drums and percussion parts over your song. When you send the files to me, we'll work together to determine what kind of sound and feel you're hoping to achieve. I have a wide variety of options available to help me realise your vision in terms of vintage or modern instruments, sticks/brushes/rods, drum heads and so on.
