I'm Tom, a professional drummer and producer. I’ve played for 16 years in a wide range of bands and scenarios, able to adapt my sound and playing style to suit a variety of genres and artist’s visions, from Indie Pop with Wax Works, R&B/Neo-Soul with Jasmine Oakley, to Rock/Soul with Mica Sefia.

I've recently graduated with a first class degree in Production and Pop at Leeds Conservatoire, and throughout my time there, gigging regularly for two years in many different bands and scenarios, I've learned a lot about what it takes to be a drummer in the industry - in particular what people really look for in a drummer.

In my drumming I pride myself in serving the song and helping an artists achieve their vision in whatever way possible. With a background in production, my sound is imperative to my musical identity, and I’m passionate for finding the ideal tones and textures for any scenario.

Self taught from the age of 4, my drumming roots lie in soul, rock and pop music.

As a teacher I aim to help my students develop their musicianship, their love for their instrument and most importantly their ability to have fun playing their instrument. Being able to express your creativity on an instrument is a freeing and highly fulfilling feeling, so I strive to help my students achieve a level where they can do that.

My lessons can be tailored exactly to your specifications if you already have strong idea what you want to do - if not, I am happy to lead you through whatever I feel would be most useful for your scenario.
