UK based drummer Darby Todd can be found playing many styles of music with many artists.
Currently touring the world with Devin Townsend, Darby adds musicality and excitement to any project he works with. Other drum credits include, The Darkness, Martin Barre, Alan Price, Gary Moore, Kee Marcello (Europe), Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow), Carl Verheyen, Robert Plant, Disney's The Lion King, Robben Ford, Paul Gilbert and many others. Darby is as comfortable playing jazz in a small jazz club as he is playing rock in an arena.
When not touring Darby can found in his London based studio remote recording for artists and bands around the world as well as a limited amount of teaching. He holds both UK and USA passports which makes working in America simple.

ALBUM
The Reality Of Zeros And Ones is my long awaited first solo album. I decided to ask a lot of the musicians I tour with and friends if they wanted to be part of this and what started out as a bit of creativity during 2020 turned into an absolute monster filled with some of the best musicians around. It contains four originals and four covers. Each and every musician brought their A game to this recording and the result is something I am extremely proud of.
The album features: Martin Barre (Jethro Tull), Don Airey (Deep Purple), Justin Hawkins (The Darkness), Kee Marcello (Europe) Mattias IA Eklundh (Freak Kitchen), Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal (Guns N Roses) Simon Mcbride, Carl Verheyen (Supertamp), Per Nilsson (Meshuggah), Adam Wakeman (Ozzy Osbourne), Derek Nash (Jools Holland), Barry Dunaway (38 Special) Laurence Cottle, Dave Marks (Hans Zimmer), Jem Godfrey (Frost), Marco Minnemann (The Aristocrats) Andy Newmark (John Lennon) and an amazing supporting team of musos who also played their asses off.
Mixed by Jakob Herrmann at Top Floor Studios, Sweden.
Mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, London.
