Tom is a multidisciplinary musician and sound designer based in the Northwest of England and hailing from Leicestershire. Drumming is his specialism, having been at the heart of his musical development since the age of 7 and leading him to garner experience ranging from local gigs to session recordings, cover and function performances, stage work and drum tutoring over the years. His earliest inspirational figures were his grandad and older brother (both of whom accomplished drummers in their own respective fields), later to be joined by a plethora of tutors and creative acquaintances down the line. With regards to genre, Tom is well versed in the technicalities of alt\/prog rock, ambient, hardcore, and funk drumming, and also draws stylistic influence from his personal music library in equal measure. Current artist favourites include Modern Color, Mathieu Fiset, Casiopea and Pinegrove.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Current projects include his work with Finn Bo George on their album \u2018From Outer Space\u2019<\/em>, alongside \u2018Sietch\u2019; a progressive rock project based in Manchester, and \u2018Topsoil\u2019; a group evoking the sound of contemporary alt-country and indie-folk.
