I’m Thom, professional drummer, studio owner & recording session drummer for Egyptian Blue, Frank Turner, Foals, Fur, Skinny Lister, Public Body, Youth Sector, Anna Rossinelli, Mechanical Bride, Nathan Gray, Ed Prosek + many more; I’m looking forward to helping you with your next project.

I work in a collaborative process, whilst ensuring professionalism and musicality to enhance your tracks, thus ensuring the drums elevate your song to its fullest potential.

Simply send the file to me with tracking information (Tempo speed, any song/drum references, drum notes, ideas, track with & without demo drums) & I will record my drums in my studio between 2-3 days, offering 3 revisions and deliver the stems to you in 41/48/96KHz.

Bio:
After leaving music college in the mid 00’s and turning pro I began recording and touring with Mechanical Bride (Transgressive), and sessioning between multiple bands including Sunless ‘97, Holy Vessels & Ed Prosek. In early 2010’s I joined up with Foals as percussionist and drum technician, appearing on Jools Holland & Abbey Road sessions.
As the decade continued, I started touring the world & recording with Skinny Lister (Xtra Mile), and further developed my session recording portfolio with a range of artists, and also joined art-punk band Public Body and later Egyptian Blue. I was fortunate to build my own studio in 2020, and in just a few short years I’ve seen Red Drum Recording Studio amass an impressive résumé, working with a multitude of successful artists, producers and bands.
