Aaron James Hay
Wytch Hazel
Preston, North West, United Kingdom
Rig Rundown My main touring and recording kit is a British Drum Co. Lounge in Wiltshire White, featuring a 24" × 14" bass drum, 8", 10" and 13" rack toms, and a 16" floor tom. My snare choices include a 14" × 6.5" Ludwig Supraphonic 402 and a 14" × 7" Highwood Walnut/Mahogany. My cymbal setup combines Dream Bliss crashes and crash rides with a 22" Zildjian K Dark Medium Ride and 14" Zildjian K hi-hats, delivering a warm, expressive and vintage-inspired sound. Playing Style & Session Approach As the drummer for British hard rock band Wytch Hazel, my playing is rooted in classic rock, traditional heavy metal and the expressive musicality of the 1970s. I favour powerful, dynamic grooves, musical fills and a strong sense of feel, always prioritising the song over technical exhibition. Whether performing live, recording in the studio or working with other musicians, my approach is built around consistency, musical sensitivity and delivering a confident, energetic performance that serves the music.
