ABOUT

My name is Charlie Southard, 26, from SW London. I recently have left my corporate job to pursue my passion for music. I am looking for opportunities to join a touring band or work as a session musician.

I am an experienced live performer, and have played in a variety of settings. I am a versatile drummer and can adapt my playing to lock in with any band’s sound, whether it’s a high-energy rock show or a more laid-back set.

I am able to learn songs rapidly by creating personalised drum charts which I use to provide tasteful, professional drum tracks to a variety of songs. I know when to play with intensity and when to pull back and let the song breathe. I have a variety of dynamics in my playing which helps to build emotion in a song without compromising the flow.

I’m also fully equipped for remote recording if you need tracks for a project. I have just renovated my home music studio with efficient sound proofing and I have high end microphones and software (Logic Pro X) to provide professional drum tracks that fit your project’s sound and style.

I have an online presence if you want to explore my playing:
