The Living End

I fell in love with drums when I was four years old when I heard Bill Haley & the Comets' 'Rock Around the Clock' on my grandparents old record player. I started playing on a borrowed kit in the hay shed on our farm.

Soon after, Mum and Dad bought me a second hand kit and I was allowed to play in the house! I played along to records after school and joined my first band at age fourteen. We played Creedence, Elvis and The Beatles etc.

I started playing and writing original music at sixteen and moved interstate to follow the music dream at nineteen.

I played and toured with many bands including Pollyanna and Violetine before joining The Living End in 2002.

Outside of music I love surfing, food and coffee.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Music! I love hearing a new tune that makes me want to hear it again. I love being in my own band, it still blows my mind that we get to do what we do and call it our job.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Get your head in the music. Play for the song. Find your place in the band and give energy to those around you.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I'm in love with the K-Series Cymbals. They just seem to work in any situation and are the most musical cymbals for my ears.
