Tim was born into a family of musician's, so music and rhythm was in his blood. From a young age he was constantly getting in trouble for tapping on or with anything he could get his hands on. Listening and watching his eldest brother Nathan (who is an exceptional drummer) and someone he looked up to and admired is where it all began for him as a drummer. He got behind the kit from the age of 11 and the rest is history.
Tim is an energetic, self taught, hard hitting master of funk and groove. Playing on the front line with precision and definitive creativity. Loves syncopated accents, ghost notes and sitting in the pocket. Mix that all together with some reggae, rock, nu metal and blues and you've got his style.
