Performing

I play drums, percussion and keyboards in a wide variety of genres - classical, jazz, rock etc. And unlike many other drummers I can not only read music, but sight-read it too!

I play percussion in various orchestras, typically for about 20 concerts a year. Orchestras in which I can often be found playing include:

• Croydon Symphony Orchestra
• Epsom Symphony Orchestra
• Cambridge Orchestra
• Guildford Symphony Orchestra
• Sevenoaks Symphony Orchestra

I also play drums and percussion for many professional and amateur theatre companies. Here are some of the shows and operas in which I have performed in the last few years:

And if you're particularly fortunate/unlucky (delete as you consider appropriate), you might encounter me as my alter-ego Rick Wakemeister, resplendent in wig and tie-die shirt, flicking the Leslie speaker rotation to fast as I crank out a screaming Hammond organ solo in the 70's covers band The Date.
