Blending chaotic energy with technical control, Sam’s drumming draws influence from post-hardcore, metalcore, emo and cinematic alternative music, creating performances that feel both relentless and emotionally charged. Whether delivering aggressive breakdowns, atmospheric textures or intricate rhythmic transitions, his approach adds depth and unpredictability to his performances, defining his sound.

Sam was born into a family of musicians and takes direct influence from his father as well as legendary drummers such as John Bonham, Cozy Powell, Tommy Lee and Joey Jordison, merging with modern influences from the likes of Aaron Gillespie, Connor Denis, Ilan Rubin and Eloy Casagrande.

Sam is appearing Sunday 25th October at 12:45 on the Main Stage at The UK Drum Show 2026.
