MAIN STAGE TIMETABLE SATURDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER 10.15 CHRIS TURNER appearing in association with:
“The day I was introduced to drumming, was the day drumming became my life. I was taken along to see my first show when I was only 4 years old, and it just so happens my dad was behind the kit that night, I was jaw dropped to say the least! From that moment I knew all I wanted to do was play; all these years later nothing has changed!” Chris was fortunate enough to grow up around some amazing players who taught him strict practice methods, and helped him to study and understand music from the young age of just 6. This built such a solid foundation of skill and knowledge all round, enabling him freedom and language via the kit. Currently, Chris is playing professionally, writing, recording and touring with the band ‘Oceans Ate Alaska’.

Richard Spaven has supplied the drums for many artists on stage and in the studio. José James, Flying Lotus, The Cinematic Orchestra, Guru’s Jazzmatazz, Gregory Porter to name but a few. Working closely with such a diverse range of artists must bare influence upon Spaven’s own compositions, in which some how the drums bridge the gap between the worlds of jazz and electronic music. Spaven’s debut release ‘5ive’s EP’ (Jazz Refreshed) in 2010 quietly turned heads. Most recently it featured on best selling video game ‘Grand Theft Auto V’. With a guest appearance by José James on the hypnotic ‘Maz’, the record was seen by some as a jazz record but was also played out loud by many club DJ’s.
17:15 RUSS MILLER appearing in association with:

FREQUENCY REDUCED CYMBALS
FRX cymbals are designed for playing environments where other cymbals are just too much. They are not low volume cymbals. FRX work by cutting specific frequencies, resulting in the perception of lower volume. Remove these frequencies,and suddenly your cymbals sit perfectly in the mix, no matter how hard you play.

12:00 GREG HUTCHINSON appearing in association with:
Born June 1970 in Brooklyn, New York, Greg Hutchinson grew up on a rich diet of ´70s soul which is undoubtedly the source of that ‘homeboy fire’ he blends into his swing. He was musically inspired early by both of his parents – his percussionist father recruited a young Greg into a reggae band he led called the Triadics, and from his mother, Greg inherited a vast record collection which had been in her family for at least two generations. Listening to artists that span jazz, soul and funk, Hutchinson developed his conception early. “Among my primary influences is ‘Philly’ Joe Jones,” he admits, “because he’s a streetwise cat who incorporated all the elements of his life into his music. He was very, very slick. Another inspiration is Charlie Parker,” Hutchinson continues,” I want to sing on the drums the way he sings on his horn.” His impressive CV includes such stellar artists including Dianne Reeves, Betty Carter, Wynton Marsalis, John Scofield, Roy Hargrove, Charles Lloyd, Diana Krall, Harry Connick Jr, Joshua Redman, Christian McBride and Maria Schneider as well as many others. His time signatures and beat compositions have won him praise from the hip hop community as well leading him to work with powerhouses Common and Super producer Kareem Riggins. His experience and technique make him one of the most exciting musicians to watch and hear. He has the creative power to not only nurture but challenge the very art of drumming. Dianne Reeves describes him as “Pure Genius.” Gary Giddins described his drum work as “Elegant” and more “like dancing” while Joshua Redman describes him as “Inspired.”
13:30 MIKE JOHNSTON appearing in association with:

15:00 JOSH DION
appearing in association with:
Josh Dion, hailing from Storrs Connecticut, grew up playing drums beside his father and uncle, both drummers. With a hearty vinyl collection of Classic Rock, Blues, and Big Band within reach he found his influences early. Other childhood interests included Dixieland (history of jazz), Pentecostalism and Funk which further affected his understanding of music, energy and its possibilities. As a young student Josh had an amazing band director named Kay Niemasik who taught him all 12 keys and scales on the piano (which he still kind of remembers!) thus beginning his exploration of the piano. Josh attended William Paterson University from 1999-2002, majoring in jazz studies. After college he fronted and wrote for the Roots/Rock ensemble Josh Dion Band from 2004-2009. They recorded 3 albums together. Aside from creating original work Josh has played and recorded with an array of great talents including The Jim Campilongo Trio, Wayne Krantz, Chuck Loeb, Lucius, Esperanza Spalding, Candy Dulfer, ulu, Zach Danziger’s Test Kitchen, Standard Candle, Bernie Worrell, Ivan Lins and Bill Evans. He cites playing “Frankenstein” with Edgar Winter as a career highlight. Currently, you can find Josh fronting the Garage/Synth duo paris_monster.
16:45 JOJO MAYER appearing in association with:
Swiss born Jojo Mayer started playing drums at an early age and had his first public performance at 2 sitting in with his dad’s band. At age 18 he received his first international exposure when touring with Monty Alexander and backing up Jazz legends such as Dizzy Gillespie and Nina Simone. In the early 90s he moved from Europe to NYC where he worked as a first call sideman for a wide range of artists and styles. As a leader he created his seminal work with NERVE which established him as one of the great performers and innovators on the instrument. His concepts and techniques of reverse engineering electronic drumbeats in real time on an acoustic drum set introduced a new paradigm and opened the door for an entire generation of musicians to follow. In 2014 Modern Drummer Magazines listed him as one of the 50 Greatest Drummers of All Time.

Mike Dolbear is really pleased to welcome Manchester icon Mike Joyce to The UK Drum Show on Sunday 30th of September.

Mike then toured with Sinead O’Connor and Andy Rourke on bass. In July 2007, Mike along with former band mate Andy Rourke released ‘Inside The Smiths’, a DVD which chronicled their experiences of being in the band.

15:45 CRAIG REYNOLDS appearing in association with:
appearing in association with:
Freddy Sheed is a drummer and musical director based in London. He has been playing drums since the age of three and has wanted to own a Gretsch kit since the age of six, when he discovered Tony Williams. After turning 17, Sheed left school and moved to London where he began working in studios and doing small tours around the UK with emerging artists. Around that time he met producer/engineer Ash Howes who gave him his first break recording the drums for Leona Lewis’ chart-topping record Christmas, With Love. From there, Sheed discovered a passion for studios and the album-making process, which changed his approach to music by creating a new focus on putting the interests of the song before those of the drummer! In these early stages, Sheed also spent two years studying with UK drum legend Bob Armstrong who rebuilt the architecture of his technique and further developed his drumming vocabulary, with a particular focus on jazz. Now 23 years old, Sheed has played on numerous world tours and festivals, and worked with a diverse range of artists and producers in TV, radio, and recording session environments including The Japanese House, Lily Allen, The 1975, Take That, Leona Lewis, Wolf Alice, Nina Nesbitt, Stella Parton, John Newman, Busted, Spector, Meaghan Smith, Thomas Cohen, Minke, Gabriel Bruce, Marika Hackman, Baxter Dury, and Brendan Benson.
After starting off in a punk bands at aged 12, Craig decided after school life was over he didn’t want a ‘proper’ job, and set about finding a way to play music for a living. After studying picking up drums at secondary school, he went on to complete a BA HONS Degree at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford. Studying under tutors like Pete Riley, Mike Sturgis, Jon Duff and Bill Bruford, he graduated with Upper Second Class Honours and since then he has “..somehow managed to get away with playing music for a living.” With credits with bands such as THE HAARP MACHINE and BRUTALITY WILL PREVAIL Craig is no stranger to the UK session scene. Known predominantly for his playing with metal and hardcore bands he has also worked with pop artists like DEAF HAVANA and UK hip-hop MC CHOZE. As part of the Vic Firth education team and a former writer for Drummer Magazine, Craig splits his time as a session drummer and educator in the UK with his full time gig in New York with alternative hardcore band STRAY FROM THE PATH. Although not a ‘Youtube Drummer’, Craig’s channel has over 1 million views and covers everything from death metal beats and how to tune drums – right through to playthrough videos of dutch jazz fusion records he has played on!
Along with all of this, Sheed is a business partner in Buff Records, a record label and commercial recording studio that is soon to open shop in East London.

Presented by Yamaha UK demonstrator Simon Edgoose and YouTube Drum Channel host Ben Minal, these sessions will give you a great understanding of how the EAD10 works. Using high quality Headphones you will be given an amazing experience of the incredible sounds you can get from your acoustic Drum Set and how it can be used effectively. “The EAD appeals to every slice of the drumming world weather you are a beginner or a professional” explained Drummers Review, “it is a huge win for Yamaha and great value for money for the end user”. The EAD10 acoustic electronic drum module instantly transforms your acoustic drum kit into a powerful Acoustic/Electronic hybrid with sampled sounds and studio quality digital effects. It allows you to play and record your acoustic drums along with your favourite artists from your music library or from tracks from your friends and share them digitally.
The Meinl product development team is constantly working on developing new and exciting products that suit the needs of all drummers and produce world class products that push the boundaries of sound and quality through the highest standards of engineering. Through this process of constant development, we decided to push the boundaries of drumsticks, multi-rods, brushes, and mallets…. Now we Introduce to you the Newly launched catalogue of Meinl Stick and Brush. As with our cymbals, our drumsticks are made with the same precision German engineering, which is subjected to a stringent 5 stage quality control process to insure the best possible sticks to suit every drummers personal preference. Our American Hickory and North American Maple sticks are divided into separate weight categories prior to production, and once produced they are then again weight matched to insure a near perfect pair of sticks. We invite you to experience our total offering of 40 models which falls under the Meinl Stick and Brush banner, within the categories of drumsticks, multi-rods, brushes, mallets and find the pair that suits you personal drumming preference.
THE MEINL R&D CONCEPT CYMBAL EXPERIENCE Come along any time
With the free Rec ‘N’ Share App you can shoot, edit and upload videos of your drum performances to your YouTube and social media channels. The EAD10 enhances every aspect of your drumming – the way you practice, record and perform live and makes your acoustic drums do more. Gavin Thomas, Yamaha Music UK states “Simply, the most creative product Yamaha have ever designed for drums. You will wonder how you have ever managed to live without it.” So, please join us and come and experience what all the fuss is about, Simon and Ben can’t wait to see you. The 25 min FREE sessions will run from 11AM until 5PM on the hour. We also invite you to the Meinl R&D Concept experience room, where you will get to experience the pinnacle of Meinl’s research and development products. These R&D cymbals will consist of models that are not available to the market, and are truly one of a kind, as only one of each model is ever produced. Numerous of the current Signature and Artist concept Meinl cymbals were developed through this R&D process, where artists were hands-on in developing their own unique Signature Meinl sound that we all know today. Come and sample these never before seen or heard Meinl R&D Concept models and experience the innovation of our Hammered in Turkey and finished in Germany Meinl R&D Concept models.
