Drummer for rock, Prog, jazz, funk, Pop, & session

About Me

I am the drummer for The Frontliners and i also do session work for other bands and various known names. In my time of playing drums i have come across and played for many artists of all kinds and have played for a few names. I can play to all kinds of music and love playing live and recording in the studio as well. I can give lessons and can play to alot of songs that have never heard before. Only the other day i was in the studio playing and recording songs ive never heard before so that must be good. I always enjoy a good Challenge.
To be updated!
================================================= Chris has been playing the drums for about 10 years now and first started playing live way back in 1998 with the The Frontliners, a Classic rock from the south. In his time to date he has played for a few known faces around the south of England and has also played a few shows around Europe and has built up a bit of a following. Since summer 2005 Chris has been playing on a more professional level with such artist as Alistair Goodwin,(The Alistair Goodwin band) Glenn Tilbrook(Squeeze) Brian Nash(Frankie go's to hollywood) More resentley he has performed with the legendry Jack Johnson in December 2006. Chris plans to continue to do more session work and wishes to thank all those who have supported him throughout his shows.
(If any band or artist out there needs a drummer last min for session work gigs, recordings ect then please get in touch and leave a message thanks ;))
