Darby Todd
Drummer

I'm Darby Todd, a 28 year old professional drummer, born in London and currently based just outside London. I am a dual national holding 2 passports (USA & UK) with unrestricted travelling and working rights within the USA, Europe and most parts of the western world.

I work regularly with some of the top freelance guys here in the UK including bass players such as Winston Blissett, Derek McIntyre, Phil Mulford, Laurence Cottle, Neville Malcolm, Otto Williams and Derek Chai. I will leave it at bass players just for now because I don't want this intro to sidetrack into superlatives and hype about this gig and that and so on...

My drumming background ranges in terms of 'live' and in the studio from: Jazz, funk, + blues, rock and pop. I have also worked on West End shows and have done television work at The BBC and Channel 4.

My audio/visual electronic press kit is now available both directly on my website (link to left) or thru a link soon to be found on www.myspace.com/darbytodd. It runs 17 minutes and will take between 1 & 4 minutes to download depending on your computer capability.
(Be sure to end the audio sampler when the EPK is ready to play).
The background sound clips you are listening to are taken from the most recent 'Protect The Beat' CD, this jazz/funk outfit is one of my main projects in the UK at this time.

Oh yeah, I am professional and can only take on fully funded work. I play Pork Pie Drums, (USA) for whom I am an endorsee and cymbals are, and always will be Zildjian, who have stuck by me both here in Europe and in LA as a full status endorser since I was 17 years old.

I am busy but always open to new work.
