"I come from a very musical family; I started playing music at the age of 5. My first instrument was saxophone, I then moved onto classical piano which I still play, and double bass. I picked up drums when I was about 15, and went on to study performance improvisation on drums at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. After many years as an improviser/session guy performing mainly jazz around Melbourne, I began touring internationally with Chet Faker in 2011 through to early 2016. Most people describe my style as linear electronic inspired groove playing. I love messing around with electronics and playing to melodies. I am currently based in Los Angeles, working as a session musician and film/TV composer."
On C & C:
“The bespoke nature and quality of craftsmanship that go into these instruments was what first attracted me to C&C, and you can hear this in the sound they produce. C&C kits have a consistently warm, rich sound, yet every instrument has it’s own unique character. When I sit behind a C&C kit, I feel inspired, commanding and confident in all performance environments.”
