About Me


I am a 23-year-old drummer from kirkintiloch, just outside Glasgow. I started playing drums at the age of 14 and from early on realised that I wanted to be a musician. During my playing years I have studied many styles including funk, jazz, rock, pop, Latin and enjoy playing a wide range of these styles.
I am currently the principal drum teacher at the Glasgow Yamaha Music School and at the Loud "n" Proud School of Rock, where I am also the musical director of the Loud "n" Proud rock orchestra. I also do lessons privatly in a one to one format.
As far as performing goes i am currently playing and recording for a few diffrent acts around scotland, playing a wide veriety of music. I am also in the process of working on some original material, which is taking shape nicely
I am also available for session work whether it be one off gigs, recording sessions or tours.
For any details on my teaching schedule or my availability for session work please message me on my space or e-mail [email protected] and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Cheers.
