Steve White began to show an interest in drumming through a snare drum that was given to him by an uncle at the age of eight. At the age of ten, Steve began to learn simple side drums parts as a member of the Drum Corp of his local Boys Brigade Company. Steve was exposed to the skill and playing of drummers such as Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa and at age 11, he was taken to see a drummer play who profoundly influenced him and still does so to this very day; on a Friday night at Ronnie Scotts club in Soho London accompanied by his long suffering and supportive dad, Steve first saw a truly great drummer play live - the drummer in question was one Louis Bellson and from that point Steve was totally hooked - practising and playing at every opportunity.
