Matt Alston

Machine Head

I picked up drumsticks at the age of 8, and have played and toured in bands since I was 16 years old. Then I began touring the world as a professional Drum Tech by 20.

It's pretty safe to say drumming is my life!

All my hard work through the years, whether it was loading trucks/building drum sets and stages/hours upon hours sweating away in the recording studio, has led me to joining heavy metal legends Machine Head in the summer of 2019.
