Callum started playing drums 10 years ago at school, and this has developed into a major passion for drums and drumming. He says "My Heros are Daniel Adair from Nickelback and Tre Cool from Green Day. I like them because they are good drummers and i like they music.quot;
Callum likes to play Rock, Punk and Pop music.
Callum recently got a new Natal drum kit, and has been having lessons with Darren Bollo for the past 10 years.
Callum hasn't yet played in a band as such, but has done a couple of jam nights at Newcastle's Bar 121. He is looking for like minded musicians from Newcastle to help his musical skills and tastes expand.
