About the drummer

His steady and melodic playing on "Wonderwall" provided the foundation for one of the most famous songs of the 90s. He is a primary study for anyone learning drums to play anthemic pop-rock.

Drummer style

His style features a classic British rock feel with a deep, driving pocket and powerful, open-sounding fills. When playing drums to this track, focus on the iconic snare accents that drive the chorus energy. It is a staple in drum lessons and is essentially "mandatory" for anyone producing 90s drum covers.
