Tom Grace Drums
Tom was one of the 5 original Roosters, but has now moved back to the states
after completing his one year Masters at Reading Uni. We hope to see him again
very soon, and will no doubt be guesting for us when coming to visit.
With a delicate and expressive style, Tom is able to create both busy and sparse
drum lines that never fail to amaze. Technically profound with an extraordinary
sense of rhythm and time, Tom generates an underlying beat that is second to none.
The next Blakey?
