Coach Party

One day at high school, about 6 years in as a guitarist, a bunch of us decided to start a band. We were chatting about who we might know who could play drums, and I heard myself say out loud "I'll do it". Which was weird, 'cause I never really said much. Or knew how to play drums. But, for some reason, I knew it would work out.


My life as a musician has always progressed in much the same way. Growing up I was the sort to completely obsess over what I loved, and what I loved changed all the time, so I soon gained a basic knowledge of a lot of things, from playing instruments, music theory & history, to technology and recording techniques. So, of course, when I was eventually part of a band who wrote a song that (we thought) was worth recording, I again found myself saying "I'll do it", somehow finding a way to record a band armed with a webcam and a long forgotten version of Windows. Fast forward to now, and I find myself touring and releasing records with my band Coach Party whilst producing and mixing music from my own studio, always learning and loving music as much as I ever have, with a drum kit being my physical and emotional centre of that universe.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    The music that I love, and the people who made it. I feel like I get a slightly better understanding of my idols with every step forward in the music world, and that's fascinating to me. Like, supporting bands who've made much of the music I grew up completely obsessed with (Queens Of The Stone Age, We Are Scientists, Bombay Bicycle Club), seeing Fugazi's graffiti on the ceiling of a dressing room at Barrowlands in Glasgow, having our records reviewed in the publications I read as a kid, playing the venues which shaped me as a music fan... Moments like those are a constant source of energy and inspiration. No-one can ever do it all, which is kind of a comforting thought.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Play what you mean, and mean what you play.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    15" K Light Hi-Hats. I like to think that every drummer eventually finds a pair of hats which they refer to as "the ones". For me, it's those K Light hats.
