I am a London based drummer available for session work (recording, touring, one off gigging, show casing, replacements...) Only paid work please, total reliability guaranteed.
I have over 10 years experience including studio recording sessions (top producers), tours and festivals, tv and radio. Click is not a problem, I am versatile and a very quick learner.
I have worked in studio with GORDON RAPHAEL (producer of The Strokes among others); also with bassist and producer SAMI YAFFA (ex-Hanoi Rocks, now in New York Dolls); and with electronic music producer ANDY CHATTERLEY, with who I have recorded drums for different acts such as Demeter, Skylark or The Buick Project.
In the last 10 years I have been touring extensively UK, Spain and France, and I have played in the States, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Turkey and Russia aswell.
I come from an indie-rock background but, even having a very personal style I can play most styles, anything you want. Check www.myspace/joantoni to listen a small sample of my recording work, just some different styled tracks to give you an idea of what I can do. If needed, I can post a cd with more recordings, just ask.
Contact me eitherway if you need something quick and simple for a last minute work, or if you dont want to rush and you need some drummer who takes care of the song and not just bangs the drums on a click as a robot.
