The Violet Kings
Blues Rock Band
I am a highly versatile drummer with over 15 years experience drumming in a wide variety of genres, I specialise in Jazz, Blues and Rock but I have also played in Metal, Pop and RnB bands too.
I bring a unique flavour to my playing with flair and character, I can take a simple beat and give it groove and feeling through my use of beat accentuation and rhythm.
I have also toured across the UK with a variety of different artists and have provided sessions work on a large number of albums, tracks and singles spanning a vast array of genres.
The quality of my work is important to me, I never miss a gig, rehearsal or recording and pride myself on my punctuation.
Any project I undertake I give 100% to, I am dedicated to seeing a project through to the end and helping it come to life.
No matter what type of music I play I give it my all, versatility is a big part of my style and something which I have perfected.
There are plenty of sessions drummers to choose from, but many of them focus on a key style and therefore can limit themselves to a specific genre which means they struggle to break out of their set formula when they transition to a style they are unfamiliar with, this is not a problem for me as a big part of what I do when I am working is allowing myself to feel a song and contribute something unique to it, whilst keeping my playing style relevant to the genre I am playing too.
