Hello & welcome! It’s great to have you here on my website dedicated to all things drums… where else would you possibly want to spend your time?

My name is Rich and I am a drummer and percussionist based in South London. I have been a drummer for almost 20 years, with 10+ years of professional experience in both the live and studio scene across the UK & Europe.

I am most well-known as a live performer, having toured Europe and the UK with my personal project ‘Dead Air’ where I remain a founding member. I am most comfortable in an Alt-Rock, Pop, Hard Rock, Metal, Punk, Pop & Funk arena, where my live sound has been described as ferocious, infectiously groovy, dynamic and powerful. As with everything I do musically, I am a perfectionist and commit 100% of my energy to creating an unforgettable live experience for the audience. I have been fortunate enough to work at many iconic venues/studios including the Royal Albert Hall, Abbey Road, AIR Studios, Pula Colosseum, The Isle of Wight Festival and KONK Studios.

As a self-confessed music obsessive - in the studio, my vast and varied musical knowledge enables me to maintain the stylistic integrity of whatever project I am involved with. Collaborating with the artist to fulfil their creative dream is my one goal and it is a privilege to join them on that journey.

I also offer both virtual and in-person drum lessons out of my fully equipped home studio in Streatham (see photo below). Taking a holistic approach to my teaching, I focus my lessons on what I believe the primary goal of any music teacher should be… having fun and playing the music that is important to you! Music is a collective experience and as a Guitarist and Bass Player myself, I am able to offer my students the opportunity to practice playing in an ensemble, while also refining their technique, groove and rudimental playing. If you would like to improve your playing or start a new hobby, please feel free to drop me a message below.

I am available for sessions, live shows and touring anywhere in the world. Please use the form below to send me a message about your project and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
