About / Biography

G'day. I'm Todd,

Seasoned and easy going drummer that really wants to play music with anyone at any time in a receptive environment of creativity and mutual respect. Been gigging in cover and original bands all across the country for decades with dozens of different musos.

Can play all styles except extended blast beats. Don't mind learning original stuff, or covering the classics across all genres and styles. Got a lovely Mapex kit I can squeeze just about any noise out of, will travel, and just really love playing the drums.

Also got professional Peavy fold backs, PA, and mixer if wherever the gig is doesn't have sound equipment.


hit me up! You won't be disappointed.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

None, really. Will BYO kit and sound equipment if necessary. Mics, foldbacks, PA, cables, mics, mixer, amps, etc.


What information do you require about a venue?

Where to put my kit and whether or not they provide a backline. Happy to play on any house equipment.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, I can. Laser machine and smoke machine also. Couple of basic stage lights too.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Best gig was in a squat in Footscray about ten years ago called "Hot Shots". We knew no one there, but the tiny joint was packed with about 150 people and absolutely lost their minds to every song we played, even though they didn't know any of our originals. A memorable one, for sure.


What's your favourite type of event?

Live music. Anywhere, anytime.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Started gigging as a DJ in the mid-2000's. Had regular spots at The Commercial Hotel Yarraville (RIP), and The Order of Melbourne on Swanston Street (also RIP).

First giged as a drummer in 2012 after hooking up with my guitarist/ best mate Pato for the first time. We quickly formed a cover band called The Drinkermen, comedy rap quartet (The Inkermen), and a two-piece punk band called Wet Love. All three still run to this day.

I've probably played about 150-200 gigs across all types of venues and gigs indoors and out. Having our own sound equipment means getting regular bookings for birthdays and parties a lot easier. We are trust worthy and underrated.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Blink 182 and Coheed and Cambria are two main drumming influences, but I've drawn widely from 70's rock to modern pop and all in between. I naturally play heavier and fast stuff because it's a better workout, but can wander through a ballad just as easily.

I don't play any Michael Jackson for ethical reasons.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

There's no such thing.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, very.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Both depending on the gig. I'm extremely adaptable.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Amazing, awesome, cool, fun, exciting, high energy, and technically impressive because I can sing and drum well simultaneously.
