Richard Hughes plays drums in Keane, a band from Battle in East Sussex, United Kingdom. Richard first met Keyboard player Tim at about the age of 11. The band rehearse and record in a little old room in Tim's parents' house in Battle.



Unusually these days, Keane are without a guitar player and rely on the mix of keyboards, vocals and drums to create a sweet sound. The band has three permanent members: Richard Hughes behind the drum kit, Tim Rice-Oxley (keyboards/programming), and vocalist Tom Chaplin.
