Ian is a freelance drummer available for hire for gigs, sessions and tours. I have over 20 years playing experience. My main genre would be jazz, with funk and latin a close, joint second. That said, I’m always up for a challenge! I’ve always made it my policy not to say no to anything within reason, so, what’re you offering me? Covers, pop, rock

I have Guildhall Grade 8 on kit and 7 on orchestral percussion. In 2008 I graduated Bath Spa University with BA Music Hons. 1st class. On top of my playing, I have experience in live sound, studio sound, lighting rigging, scoring, arranging, set design and manufacture, roadie-ing and events booking.

I have my own good gear, both acoustic and electric, a compliment of microphones and associated ancillaries, and my own transport.
