Drummer


Welcome to my site. I am a professional drummer based in Melbourne, Australia. I've been playing for 35 years and performing live for almost as long. I have had many adventures throughout my career, and performed with many of Australia's greatest musicians. My love and dedication to my craft has earned me a healthy drumming career, and I love nothing more than sharing everything I have learned through performance and education.

Performing since the age of 10, I started my musical life playing drums in a 50-piece concert band and playing big band swing. I moved to the city at 18 to study jazz and I have been playing professionally ever since. These days I am mostly known as 'Lloyd Spiegel's Drummer' as well as playing in my own band, The Backwood Creatures. I also do a lot of work for recording artist and touring acts. Check out the videos below of me doing what I do best.

When I am not on the road, you will find me in the studio recording drum tracks, teaching drums or shooting drum related videos. I am currently working on YouTube content as we wait out the pandemic.

Here is a drum solo live at the Old Brisbane museum during the Queensland leg of Lloyd Spiegels 'Backroads' album tour.



Heres a little snippet of of me playing around with the Songo rhythm.



Time to rock out with the Backwood Creatures. There is a short drum solo in the middle.



This is a clip of Lloyd and I blasting out a rocking version of 'When the Saints come marching in' which was commissioned by the StKilda football club. It actually got played at Edihad Stadium as the Saints ran onto the field. Unfortunately, I am a tigers supporter.
