Attention to detail, fun and soul alongside technique are the things that distinguish my playing and approach to music.
I've been playing drums for over 10 years and considerable ones with bands now, on tour and in the studio.
Sound is everything and can define the course of a song and the experience of it. Real drum sound can make a very much big difference in the direction your work is going to.
I'm open to shaping sounds and composing drum parts accordingly. Hit me up and let me know your needs for the track or the album
