Testimonials
I first met Joe when he was 14 and my first impressions were of what a hard worker he was. He loves to get things right and will work hard until he has reached his goal. Joe is in demand as a drummer and always has gigs in the diary. He is a great asset to any band or artist as he always turns up on time having learnt the songs. He is always totally dependable and because of his amazing time keeping, groove, chops and feel. I would wholeheartedly recommend Joe to any band, theatre, artist or further education course in music.
Joe receives the call due to his hard work, dedication, preparation and top communication towards every show I put him on. He has worked with us for a number of years now here at Pure Muso and delivers every single time. If you need someone to do the job well, with the right attitude and graft, Joe will get it done.
I first met Joe when I auditioned him when I was a tutor at ACM. Right away he showed, not only in his playing but his attitude, of someone who was passionate and dedicated to their craft. When Joe and I reconnected with him as a graduate, all that hard work came into fruition when I heard him play. He is a brilliant sight reader, he continues to grow as a player every day and excels in all the shows he works on. As his friend and former teacher I couldn't be any prouder.
Joe has been in the music industry as a freelance drummer for years and you can obviously tell. His reliability, enthusiasm and constant determination to be the best version of himself sticks out not just within his playing, but throughout the projects and opportunities he launches himself into. A stand up guy, a fantastic musician and an all round brilliant person. I highly recommend booking him for any gig.
Joe is an extremely talented and hard-working drum kit player and musician. He played drum kit for our production of ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ and was superb – a human metronome! His tempo is always spot on and totally reliable. His technique is excellent and he performs with a wonderful creativity and passion. He would be an excellent asset to any band, show or recording session. Joe is friendly chap and a definite team player. I would happily book him again for future productions and events.
Joe is a very talented and passionate drummer with a brilliant work ethic. He has been a pleasure to work with at the ACM and always goes above and beyond to develop his skills as a drummer. Joe is certainly a player to look out for in the future.
Joe is a very dedicated and disciplined student with an excellent work ethic towards his studies, he will sit with whatever it is he needs to do and sit with it until it’s done to a high level. So, with a work ethic and discipline like Joe’s, that’s something that can definitely come in handy in a professional music career.
I have seen Joe at work on multiple occasions, onstage as a performer, in the studio as a sessions musician and offstage as an organiser. He is extremely passionate and truly proud of everything that he does and is also one of the most versatile drummers that I have had the pleasure of meeting, a truly exceptional talent to this industry.
I have known Joe for just over a year now after auditioning several drummers for a new music project called Dirty Shirley. Out of all the candidates, Joe’s clear enthusiasm towards the new project shone through and through. I specifically remember him playing out a perfect drum fill from the song ‘Paradise City’ by Guns N’ Roses, which incidentally is one of my favourite songs. His thunderous, creative and consistent playing was a perfect fit for the project and Joe has kept the groove ever since.
