As the drummer for early UK indie heroes, The Crocketts and The Crimea, Owen Hopkin was one of the UK's first C & C endorsers. Ten years on, and having been pulled out of retirement by Stereophonics singer Kelly Jones, he's now back behind his C & C Antique White Marine Pearl kit with Far From Saints.
The band is a collaboration between Kelly and Austin, Texas natives Patty Lynn and Dwight Baker of The Wind And The Wave.
On C&C:
"When you get the call, having the right equipment is as important as the ability and attitude. I'm proud to sit behind my C & C kit, proud to hear them sing on stage, and proud to be a part of the family. They're made with love, and that's how I aspire to play them."
