Professional Drummer - Session Musician - Drum Coach

Session Musician

For a session musician like me, it’s a great pleasure to work in London – the world’s leading music venue. Being surrounded by so many great musicians and artists, as well as the history of Pop Music, definitely influences the sound of my drumming!

Mission

My mission as a professional session drummer is to provide a solid foundation on top of which every other musician can place her/his performance and find her/his place to shine.

As a trained professional drummer, I am able to help artists achieve brilliance both live and on record. Providing high quality vibes and infectious energy is my claim. As to social skills, I am reliable, easy going, and flexible. Relaxed in person, dynamic on drums.

Pillars of Performance

I focus on providing the highest possible level of energy. Energy, passion and flow are the main pillars of performance excellence.

Energy makes it sound “right.” It creates a pleasant smile on everyone’s face. It helps the singer perform their best. It provides a solid foundation for the whole band.

No ego. No showing off. I play the song.

Styles

I am a keen timekeeper and groove drummer, picking the right beat for a variety of styles. Whether pop, hip hop, jazz, electro, soul or funk, my attitude is to provide a high-quality performance and to melt with the music in every single stroke.

Gear

I am proudly endorsed by Aquarian Drumheads. The diverse sounds and high-end craftsmanship of their products is why I have stayed with them for years now. Aquarian Drumheads add a more vintage sound to my drums, that I really love. I appreciate their support.
