ABOUT

Experienced drummer who has played and toured in well known Australian metal, progressive and hardcore acts, also toured with an outlaw country band for a significant about of time.
Currently looking for something new to sink my teeth into, whether it be in a band or as a backing musician for an artist, in any fields from contemporary to folk to electronic to heavy. Have several kits suited for different styles plus ties to a couple of studios for session work if required.
