About Me

www.olivergearing.com

I love sounds. Plying my trade as a session player for producers and bands, I hope to further my understanding of the modern music world.

Currently I'm working as a freelance drummer, finding plenty of work recording for many artists. The latest releases I have worked on include the debut album of exciting new artist Karen Louise and my own solo project - 'The End of Daydreaming' .

I've played with a huge variety of groups and in many different places from local pubs to the Royal Albert Hall.

I have just completed several sessions with fantastic soul label Fly By Nature . This is an exciting new prospect; I hope to bring you some of their wonderful tracks to olivergearing.com very soon.

I am willing to drum for anyone - anywhere - doing anything; and will bring an exciting energy to your project/gig; that's a promise!
