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!
