My name is Graham King. I am a session drummer, having played drums most of my life as my father is a drummer. I've studied music at Boxhill Institute the last 4 years having studied under 5 different professional active drummers, Dave Beck, Tony Floyd, Robbi Parolin, Nick Karrasavides and Ben Weisner, who are all Australian renowned drummers. Practicing 3 or 4 hours a day, I honed my craft. I grew up playing for up to 500 to 1000 people a week in church, as well as gigging at venues like The Evelyn, the Gasometer, The workers Club both in Melbourne and in Geelong, the Grace Darling hotel, and much more. I love to record. I just finished a Christmas Ep, called one for all at my church, and earlier on in the year I recorded on our album, Nothing of earth, I also play and record for a bunch of local artists such as Benoit and the Mountain Sounds, Ellery Cohen, Josiah Bekker and much more.
