About the drummer

Tony McCarroll was the original drummer for the Britpop giants Oasis, playing on their groundbreaking debut album. His steady and powerful drumming helped define the raw, anthemic sound of the band's early years. He is an important study for anyone learning drums with an interest in the 90s British rock scene.

Drummer style

His style is straightforward and driving, focusing on a heavy kick-and-snare relationship that supports the loud guitar walls. Playing drums in McCarroll's style requires power, stamina, and a solid sense of timing. His tracks are classic choices for 90s-themed drum covers and early-stage drum lessons.
