I’ve been playing drums for 25 years and counting, getting my start on stage playing with my dad’s musician friends at parties. Today, I play for several different groups and teach throughout the local Geelong area.

I’ve never found anything more exciting in life than drums. I’m glad I get to share my passion for this instrument both on stage and with new students in the studio. My drumming style is most often described as “a rock drummer playing metal,” as I prefer to focus on interesting grooves and patterns rather than just raw speed.

Chaos Sticks – Size 2B. Tried a lot of different brands over the years and settled on 2B
as the right size due to the extra length and balance. I heard good things about the
Chaos sticks and tried out a few pairs that lasted ages and took a real beating. They are
every bit as good as any of the big brands.
