Jules is already a familiar name in the drum industry: he spent the last 18 months working as editor at Drummer magazine and has extensive contacts with the drum community.

Jules has also worked in retail, having spent several years at Exeter, UK-based Project Music, prior to which he helped people with career guidance.

Commenting on his appointment, Jules says:

"I'm really excited to be joining the company, especially right now with Roland's brand new range of V-Drums kits just arriving. During my time in retail and at Drummer, I always knew that V-Drums were the best electronic kits, so to get the chance to build on that success is hugely exciting."
