To you, what defines a great drummer? Name a few that you think stand out in today’s scene (regardless of genre) and some that helped shape you as a drummer growing up and learning the instrument. A week later I had a pair of drumsticks and a practice pad and I was hooked! I wanted to play violin, but my dad said he had a better idea. At the age of six I came home from school with a letter saying I could choose to play violin or tuba.
I never really looked at drums and thought that I really wanted to be a drummer.
How come you ended up behind a drum kit? Were you always drawn to drums and was it your first and only alternative? My dad was a bass player and coming from America he had a huge love of English rock bands (and we all know the UK bands were the best back in the day!), so I was always exposed to the vinyl he would play. I was always surrounded by music as long as I can remember. First of all, what sparked your interest in music?
