If you are searching for a professional session drummer in Devon and Cornwall — whether for a live gig, a dep slot, a full tour or a studio session — London Drumstick Co. connects you directly with endorsed players on its roster. There is no agency commission and no middleman: enquiries go straight to the drummer.

Simon Marsh — Devon and Cornwall

Simon Marsh is a professional session drummer with over 20 years of touring, recording and live experience, bringing a powerful, groove-focused approach with solid time, strong dynamics and a feel-first mentality. Based in Devon and Cornwall, he is active in NoComply and Rat Attack, works as an educator, and covers a wide stylistic range that includes Rock, Punk Rock, Hardcore, Alternative Rock, Indie Rock, Pop Rock, Metal, Grunge, Acoustic, Pop, and Function and Covers. His kit is a DW Collector's Series — 12" rack tom, 16" floor tom, 24" kick — loaded with Ephesus Cymbals, Evans drumheads and London Drumstick Company 5BXL sticks throughout.

For session work specifically, Simon is confident playing to click tracks and backing tracks, has excellent dynamic control, and brings strong arrangement awareness alongside fast song learning — exactly what producers and musical directors need when studio time is at a premium this autumn. He is available for studio sessions, live gigs, dep work and full tours across the UK and internationally, and is comfortable taking direction from artists, producers and MDs.

Choosing the right player

Before reaching out, it is worth clarifying what your project actually needs. For live gigs and dep work, check the drummer's genre range and confirm they can travel to your venue — Simon covers Devon and Cornwall and is within reach of Exeter, Plymouth, Truro and beyond, with international availability for tours. For studio sessions, ask about click-track confidence and whether they have their own kit; Simon ticks both boxes. For remote or hybrid projects, discuss whether a local studio or home session is more practical. Always review the listed services on a profile before booking to make sure the drummer's availability matches your timeline.
