19/01/12 - I have just recorded and written some of the best drum parts ever for a top secret new project over the past few weeks! There are some big names involved in this and I just can't wait to tell everyone about it - all will be revealed soon!!

12/01/12 - Just got back from Cagliari in Sardinia where I performed a masterclass and drum clinic for the Raphael Saini school of drums. Absolutely brilliant place and brilliant people. I was very well looked after and I can't wait to go back - though I think I will take a direct flight next time rather than the three I took to get there from Birmingham!

19/12/11 - Another late update! Completed a great Pop will eat itself tour in the U.K. in October. Against all odds, non-believers were disproved and dispatched of with a sell out tour.
I also had the pleasure of writing eight Metal as Fuck tracks for the new Rockschool syllabus (which is released mid 2012) - really proud of them - not just mine - all tracks in the new manuals sound very proffessional, especially as it was all recorded and produced in Guildford in Geneisis's recording studio.
In November I recorded for the Norwegian sensation 'Commander in Chief' - great operatic vocals over shredding metal!!! It was also a great experience recording with producer Sterling Winfield who has produced and engineered Pantera, Hatebreed and Hell Yeah! It never ceases to amaze how much there is still to learn about myself and recording - long may it contiune. Great studio too called Chairworks up in Yorkshire.
     

05/09/11 - Having been touring a lot over the past few months, this is a bit of a late update! What have I been up to? Well obviously playing with Killing Joke over Europe but also British comedy legend Bill Bailey where we headlined the Saturn stage at Sonisphere to 60,000 people - sandwiched between Opeth and Slipknot!! I also played with Pop will eat itself at the Beautiful days festival as part of their comeback (I drummed on the new album which is released in October) and also squeezed in a few festival appearances with Slaves to Gravity. At this precise moment I'm charting drums for a drum and bass remote session. laters!

31/05/11 - This month I recorded drums for the official F1 2011 games for Xbox and PS3. Great fun doing this as a remote session - I was also accompanying the Prague Philharmonic orchestra! A great masterclass too was had up in Barnsley for the Richard Quinn school of drums to over 150 students?

19/04/11 - I have actually been recording some Swung, moody, Jazz this week - Brushes, hotrods and everything! Legendary producer Geoff Gurd (Dina Carroll fame) was directing everyone and I can honestly say I have never worked with a group of more competent musicians in my life! My old friend Dave Draper was engineering at FFG studios in Bredon. I will post some audio very soon!
