This is Jos who has been having lessons with me since 2019. He recently passed his Grade 8 Classical Drum Kit with Distinction and we are now working towards his Diploma. On Monday we had our 200th lesson together. Happy anniversary Jos! 🥳 Keep up the good work and well done for listening to me drone on for 6 years!
…and yes, I do need a haircut! 💇♂️

This is Ernesto. I’ve been teaching him for 5 years both in the UK and online in Brazil. He brings me joy in every lesson, always makes me laugh and plays some fantastic drums along to all sorts of songs, as well as read music. I’m super proud of what we’ve achieved together and I wanted to share this with you too. Thank you Ernesto and Happy World Down Syndrome Day. #downsyndromelove #worlddownsyndromeday
Just a few shots from last night’s gig with U2UK at Camp & Furnace, Liverpool. Hopefully some footage to follow… A fantastic venue with a great vibe about it, with a top drawer crew and some really tasty chicken! The crowd were incredible and in full voice throughout - what a sound! Thanks to everyone at Camp & Furnace and to the U2UK boys for inviting me along. Great fun as always. Favourite track of the night? - ‘Exit’ - absolutely brutal! 💪🏻 #drumlife @pearl_drums @sabiancymbals_official @remopercussion heads @vicfirth @shure IEMs @hardcase_drum_cases @the_u2uk_show @campandfurnace #u2uk #danguest #campandfurnaceliverpool

Just a wee clip (from newly appointed Gaffercam!) of the opening track from last night’s Jean Genie gig, ‘Wild is the Wind’. We had such a warm reception from a packed out crowd, wonderful sound from engineer Emily and of course loads of fun playing some wonderful music. Thank you David Bowie, thank you The Robin and thanks to everyone who came. See you next year. #drumlife @pearl_drums @sabiancymbals_official @remopercussion skins @vicfirth @shure IEMs @hardcase_drum_cases @cymatic_audio_official #danguest #jeangenie #therobinvenue @therobinvenue
All set up and soundchecked for tonight’s Jean Genie gig at The Robin, Bilston. Have finally got a new phone so have repurposed my old, cracked one for selfie footage… gaffer tape and all! See how tonight goes. Wish me luck! #drumlife @pearl_drums @sabiancymbals_official @remopercussion skins @vicfirth @shure IEMs @hardcase_drum_cases @cymatic_audio_official #danguest #jeangenie @therobinvenue #therobinvenue

Great to be back at The Met, Bury with Jean Genie over the weekend. Unfortunately didn’t capture any of the gig, but did get a little soundcheck footage. #drumlife @pearl_drums @sabiancymbals_official @remopercussion skins @vicfirth @shure IEMs @hardcase_drum_cases @cymatic_audio_official #danguest #jeangenie

BEASTLY YORKSHIRE PUDS! That is all. Happy Advent. 🌟

Played my first Orchestral Concert here 32 years ago, tonight I’m here to drink beer. Cheeers!

Just a wee flashback to Jersey with the Really Hot Chili Peppers - Sound Check with Funkle Dave & I making some modifications to ‘Blood Sugar…’. #drumlife @pearl_drums @sabiancymbals_official @remopercussion heads @vicfirth @shure IEMs @hardcase_drum_cases #danguest #reallyhotchilipeppers @reallyhotchilipeppers
