Ian Mosley

In 2001 Ian released a solo album, Postmankind, in collaboration with saxophonist Ben Castle. The album also features performances by other Marillos Pete Trewavas and Steve Rothery. In 1996, Ian teamed up with French guitarist Sylvain Gouvernaire to form the band Iris (also featuring Pete Trewavas on bass) to record the instrumental album Crossing the Desert. Prior to joining Marillion in 1984, Ian had toured extensively with ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett from 1980 to 1984, as well as appearing on several of Steve's albums, including Highly Strung, Till We Have Faces, Time Lapse Live, and Feedback. Ian has also worked with many other artists such as the Gordon Giltrap Band, Manfred Mann, Darryl Way's Wolf, and Trace. Before joining the world of rock-and-roll, Ian played in the orchestra for the musical "Hair" and later developed a distinct hatred for Andrew Lloyd Webber, also playing drums for "Jesus Christ Superstar" - both in London's West End.Ian Mosley uses Zildjian Cymbals Tama Artstar 2 bird's-eye maple shells: 1 x 8" rack tom 1 x 10" rack tom 1 x 12" rack tom 1 x 13" rack tom 1 x 16" floor tom 1 x 18" floor tom 2 x 22" bass drums 1 x 14" piccolo brass shell snare 1 x 14" Ludwig black beauty snare Drum Heads: Top tom: Remo Ambassador clear Top snare: Remo CS inverted dot rough coat Bottom (all): Remo Diplomat clear Bass drum: Remo Pinstripe clear Zildjian Brilliants Cymbals: 1 x 22" Z ride 1 x 21" Earth ride 1 x 22" Swish 1 x 20" China boy high 1 x 16" medium thin crash 1 x 18" medium thin crash 1 x 20" medium thin crash 1 x 14" Quickbeat hi-hats (pair) Tama racking system Yamaha hi-hat stand Premier 250S bass pedals Shaw sticks "Ian Mosley" model Really Big Fan ...and that is the vote from the Norwegian jury.
