Clinician
Performing Artist
Educator
 Rob presents and performs drum clinics, masterclasses for schools and drum events to bring the art of drumming to a larger public in an educational setting.
From a young age, Rob attended clinics at his home town of Leeds in the north of England.
Being heavily inspired by these events, he now enjoys sharing the same experience with younger players by performing at events both locally and throughout France.
 He presents each year the Wizdom Drumshow featuring students at the Wizdom Drumshed in Marseille encouraging younger players to take to the stage, quite often for the first time, and give their best performance.
Rob performed at the 2010 Tam Tam drum show in Montlucon alongside Carmine Appice, Damien Schmitt, Sebastien Rambaud and many others as well as hosting teaching sessions during the two day event.
Rob has also participated in the Creative Drum Clinic MIC team alongside motivational drummer / clinician Garry King to present a show designed to use the power and inspiration of music and drumming to motivate younger people in all walks of life to give the very best of themselves whatever their chosen path.
"Rarely have I seen the talent and enthusiasm that Rob possess. My experience with Rob has proven him to be reliable, energetic, always prepared and showing great discipline. Rob`s overall attitude is very positive and he is an all around professional person and musician. Be sure to check him out...it`s inspiring!"

"Rob came to Rennes to perform the first drum clinic organized by the “Creative Drum Center”. The evening saw many beginner, intermediate and advanced drummers attending, allowing Rob to develop the concept that he came to talk about – the presentation of the drum set in an educational and motivating aspect."
John H Petitjean - Creative Drum Center, Rennes

"I invited Rob, who I didn’t know at the time, to participate at my recent Tam Tam 2010 Drum Show in February. I must say that I was not mistaken concerning his professionalism, kindness, punctuality as well as the character that was able to energize the lessons and master-classes. It was a true pleasure to see Rob develop between the teaching and the pleasure of playing on stage. What a delight to now know Rob better and what a passion that he passed on to us all."
Jean Francois Miguel - Tam Tam, Montlucon
