About Rick
"I am a musician who always lets my playing ability and passion for my instrument speak for itself.

I started playing the drums aged 13.

I was influenced by a Meat Loaf concert where John Miceli was the drummer. Both Meat and John inspired me to love, enjoy and always play music from the heart.

I was taught by the late great Russell Woods who became a great friend and mentor and I now study with the legendary Dave Hassell following Russell's death in 2005.

Having played in bands ranging from brass, jazz, metal, rock, and theatre to symphony orchestra my motto is simple 'play anything, anytime, anywhere'

My work ethos is equally simple... 'always give 100%, play with passion and feeling, embrace moving out of your comfort zone, nothing is unattainable, everything is achievable' "
