> No PRO drummer? No problem. No studio hire, no travel. Just great drums.

About Tim

Tim began playing almost by accident at the age of 10, when his school needed a new drummer for their brass band. By 19 he had turned pro, joining South African band Amersham when they signed a five-album deal with BMG — a stint that included a No.1 hit with Matchbox.

Returning to his native UK, Tim built an impressive career spanning recording, live performance, and worldwide touring. He became a key part of the live setup for multi-platinum UK band Feeder, a credit that speaks for itself. Closer to home, he is co-founder and drummer of West Country favourites The Hammervilles.

Alongside his drumming, Tim has built a reputation as a producer and mixer through his side project Full Phatt Audio, specialising in turning demos into radio-ready tracks for bands and artists across genres.
