Nick began his journey in drumming at the age of 14 in his home town of Horsham in Victoria. After leaving high school he joined the Royal Australian Navy Band as a drummer - percussionist where he was awarded the 75th NAVAL ANNIVERSARY AWARD for most outstanding musician and also received letters of commendation from
CHIEF OF NAVAL STAFF and CHIEF OF AUSTRALIAN DEFENSE FORCE. This time as a musician in the defense force was very valuable in developing many different styles of playing while gaining an advanced technical foundation. After 9 years service Nick left the Royal Australian Navy Band to became a freelance live and recording drummer playing
such styles as Rock, Pop, Blues, Country, Jazz, World Music, House, Electro and R&B. He has travelled all over the globe with his drumming. Nick currently lives in sydney as a freelance drummer with 25+ years industry experience. His approach to teaching is very
unique and effective, Nick gives the student an invaluable insight and foundation in time keeping, rhythms and feel. He also teaches his students to read and interpret drum charts (orchestral or standard gig charts) and to play with click backing tracks. Some of Nicks
students are drum tutors themselves that have gone on to adopt his unique approach in their own teaching styles.
