Nick attended Leeds College of Music, where he studied the art of drumming with world-renowned tutors such as Ronnie Bottomley, Tony Faulkner, Tony Mann and Dave Hassell, as well as gaining a deep understanding of music theory, composition, arranging, recording techniques and much more.   

As a seasoned, professional player, Nick is at-home on stages of any size and is a very competent sight reader having worked on large-scale production shows and countless dep gigs. He is similarly well versed in working with click tracks and is equipped with his own IEM system and full compliment of drum mics alongside his top-of-the-range kit and cymbals of choice. See below for full details. 

Thanks to his dedication and knowledge of all things drum-related, Nick is also an experienced music journalist, having previously held the title of editor of Drummer magazine (2012-2014), where he conducted interviews with the biggest names in drumming as well as reviewed the freshest new gear available on the market and devised features aimed squarely at inspiring and educating the next generation of players.

Alongside his on-going gigging, recording and teaching work, Nick is also currently product demonstrator and online editor for new international website Drummer’s Review (www.drummersreview.com), where the freshest new gear available on the drumming market is reviewed in an unbiased, honest way.
