LOCATION: Sunshine Coast - QLD

I have been drumming since I was 18. My parents told me to get lessons before I got my first kit – being a punk drummer and a rebellious teenager – the drumkit was already in the garage! I play fast and heavy. I might not be the most technical drummer, but I put 100% effort into every performance. I am always watching the bands I love to steal a new groove / fill to add to my arsenal.

INFLUENCES - Travis Barker, Matt Greiner, Aaron Gillespie
