About Me

Hamilton Drummer, Adrian McFarlane has been on the go and in demand, constantly perfecting his craft for over 11 years.Being in Hamilton has allowed Adrian to play and record with some of the city’s up and coming artists such as The Entertainment, King Lucius, Ophelia Syndrome, Dark Sunrise, Monica Joy, Waleed Abdulhmid, and 2x the Mono Thomas Wilson. He has also played in large scale media productions such as Godspell, 100 Huntley Street, and The Hamilton Music Awards just to name a few.Adrian has been playing drums since the ripe young age of 13. For most of the first few years he took formal lessons, while starting his first band, “Chaos Theory” in high school which he stayed in for 9 years. A few years later while still playing in “Chaos Theory” he attended Mohawk College of the Arts and Technology in Hamilton Ontario and furthered his love for drumming and music by studying Jazz, Latin, Funk, and Fusion as well as learning the theory behind it all and playing in various ensembles.Definitely one of Hamilton’s finest drummers, Adrian will be one to watch out for in Hamilton’s growing music scene.........................................!"Hey!Thanks for visiting my little space here.
