ABOUT

My name's Ash, I hit a lot of drums, and I'm just throwing my sticks in the ring here as a session drummer for hire for whatever live/touring/studio needs you might require!

After more than 25 years behind the kind for a variety of different acts, I've built up a pretty decent amount of experience in the studio, on stage, and on the road with multiple albums, national and international tours, and one Eurovision stint under my belt! I love what I do, I'm driven and hard working, a quick study, and all about putting on the best possible show! Got my own transport, have access to a permanent space for rehearsals, and professional equipment. Can read sheet music, by sight if it's reasonably simple. If you ever need someone to strike some skins, I'd love to be involved!

I'm known about the place as the drummer for:
VOYAGER - synth-pop metal
THE FLOORS - dirty fuzz punk blues
WILL STOKER & THE EMBERS - post-punk cabaret
OPIA - modern alt-rock
