One-to-one Drum Lessons
For everyone age 7 and upwards
Under Siege 2011
I started playing drums at the age of 7 and continued onto learning guitar from the age of 11. During my time at Secondary school I played in a band with school mates, performing a mixture of funk/rock covers and originals. From there I began gaining live experience with this band, performing at local Medway venues and larger outdoor events such as Under Siege at the Rochester Castle Summer Concerts. Alongside this, I played with pro cover bands to widen my knowledge of styles and I attended local jam nights to gain experience of performing with different people. When I was 15 years old, I achieved Grade 8 Drums with Trinity Guildhall.
Drummathon 2013
From 2012 to 2014, I completed a BMus Degree in Professional Music Performance at the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM) in Guildford. During my time at ACM, I learnt from industry professionals including Frank Tontoh (Amy Winehouse, Craig David), Toby Drummond (Wicked, We Will Rock You) and Pete Riley. In 2013, I was a part of a world record attempt in which a team of drummers including Craig Blundell and Mike Dolbear drummed for 2 hour stints for a total of 70 hours straight. From studying at ACM, I have expanded my musical knowledge to now having a decent understanding of music theory, songwriting/rearranging and recording production.
Royal Monster 2023
I officially became a full time professional musician in 2015 and I have been involved with a number of musical projects and bands since, working both live and in the studio. Highlights include performing nationally with a Royal Blood tribute going by the name of Royal Monster - some of the shows we played recently in 2023-25 being particularly epic! Also, playing an impromptu song on drums with Marmozets in Portsmouth in 2017 was something I'll remember vividly for a long time.
