About Me

I'm a professional freelance drummer originally from in London, England. I've been playing and teaching drums professionally for 10 years in a wide range of styles and genres. See my Website for more info. I moved to Auckland, New Zealand in July 2006, I'm looking to meet Musicians, bands and anyone who needs a drummer :-) I also have an online Drum Recording Service where I can record drums from my home studio - goto Cyberdrumstudio for more info.I'm currently gigging with Tempus Fujuit, The Danny McCrum Band and Farmer Pimp, I've also played with Annie Crummer, Darcy Perry and kick. The songs on my profile are some of my favourite grooves and styles. I also play a bit of keys and have done some co-writing,this can be heard on on some my tracks (Indie pop and Latin).I'm also available for private drum tuition and also teach Drum Kit at Excel Performing Arts School. I'm comfortable with all styles of music and am a fluent reader. You can also look at my NZ My Space Site Glen For some more tunes and grooves.
