The Seekers

Took up drums aged eight, playing in a school drum corps. Had some lessons and played with anyone who would have me, until turning professional in 1977. Since then have enjoyed the roller coaster ride playing rock, jazz, funk, musical theatre, as well as teaching since 983. The most well-known band I have toured with internationally is The Seekers. I feel very privileged to make a living doing what I love.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Other musicians I perform with, who help me go beyond what I thought I could do.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Be resilient. Take advantage of any and every opportunity, even if you have doubts about your ability. Be humble.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    As I am currently doing a lot of jazz, I use a 20" K Custom Left Side Ride, 20" K Constantinople Bounce Ride, and 14" K Constantinople Hi hats.
