I started playing the drums 30 years ago after I heard Dave Grohl drumming on the album ‘Nevermind’ by Nirvana and I have never looked back.
Since then I have played in a variety of bands and genres including: Grunge, Pop/Rock, live electronic dance music, Americana, Country and Klezma.
11 years ago I decided to give up my 9-5 day job to pursue a full time career in music. I applied to Falmouth University to study a degree in Music. Before I started the degree I attained my grade 8 on the drums and grade 5 music theory.
In my final year at university my mind turned to establishing a career as a drummer and I decided to write my dissertation on the benefits and viability of group electronic drum lessons. Writing this dissertation inspired me to setup my own electronic drum school, specifically focusing on group lessons and workshops.
