Garry
developed a very high standard of professionalism in his playing,
attitude towards fellow musicians, the business and the companies
that now endorse him. As a player Garry easily fits himself
into any band and touring situation contributing not just
drums but ideas and input essential to success in the industry
on any level.
He has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel
the world, work for and be associated with a number of major
artists and companies including guitar Legend Jeff Beck, Paul
McCartney, Grammy Nominated Producer Rick Hale and Grammy
Winning Producer Tom Bee, plus teach and mentor students and
other musicians with endorsing companies including Sabian,
Axis and Vic Firth.
His drumming
focus is on pure groove and the song itself, and is well versed
in a full range of styles from Heavy Rock, Contemporary/chart
pop to Fusion and has the advantage of a strong backing vocal
voice.
Working with Britain’s Musician’s Union Garry organized, arranged
and promoted clinics throughout the South East of England
using music from a then current project "Temple Myst",
promoting reliability, character, musical techniques and the
importance of professionalism in the music industry, in fact
any industry!
