Paul
Paul first started learning drums so that he could join the school
Dance Band, a small ensemble that played big band classics at school
events and local functions, and soon found himself playing in other
school music projects such as orchestra, brass band and musical
productions.
Through the 90s and noughties, Paul played in a number of
amateur post-punk and rock bands, a highlight of which was playing at
Portsmouth Guildhall in front of drummer Mark Brzezicki (Big
Country). He has been drumming for covers band “The New Originals”
(Spinal Tap aficionados will get the reference!) for well over a decade
now, playing pubs, clubs and functions.
Alongside playing drums, Paul’s other passion is recording. Ever
since his first recording studio experience, he has been fascinated by
the recording process. In the mid 2000’s, Paul helped a friend and
fellow band member establish a project studio and ran full band
sessions with him on weekends - a real baptism of fire, but an
invaluable learning experience.

In 2016, Paul was able to fulfil a long held dream and built his own garden studio. He uses this to practice
drums, record drum tracks for other people’s music projects and to work on his mixing skills. Paul also spends
some of his spare time acting as a moderator for one the biggest online drum education platforms, “Drumeo”.
