My hero is Andy Bews, (from Hundred Reasons) I saw him at Nottingham Rock City when I was 13 and he was the first drummer I ever saw live with a band, he truly inspired me to play. I grew up playing his songs, they were the first songs I ever learnt on the drums along with early Green Day songs, you could say Tre Cool is my hero too.The Fado Boys: Andy Smith, Spike, Rob Emerson and Craig Provins.My parents & friends.Also, my past and present Drum & Percussion tutors. Iron Maiden, Green Day, Blink 182, and REM - The first major bands my brother got me interested in when I was young.
