Welcome to my little corner of the web where you can find out more about my various happenings - past, current and upcoming, where I’m playing and who with, Jim Blackley’s great educational material, plus lot’s of other drummy stuff!

I’ve been playing my new TIKI drums a lot just recently and they seem to get better every day! Preston Prince is building these drums down in deepest Sussex and they are really very special. Stemming from Preston’s love for the building techniques of the great drum makers of the past, his drums are hand made and finished with love and respect. The result is a great drum for today’s drummers combining timeless build quality and integrity with contemporary attention to detail, versatility and musicality....

Check out some TIKI drums now!

The MEET THE BASS PLAYER CD continues to go from

strength to strength with some of the top drummers and

educators on the planet using and recommending it.
