Steve Alexander

I am a proud endorser of
cymbals and sticks

and
drums.

You can access the Zildjian site HERE and the Sonor site HERE

If you are interested in reading a brief overview of my career so far, you can do so on my entry on the Artist's Page on the aforementioned Zildjian site . While it's not exhaustive in any way, it'll give you and idea of some of what I've done in the past.

Let's just say I've played with quite a few different people over the years. Check the YouTube links here and you'll see me in action with two acts I enjoyed working with, Jeff Beck and Duran Duran

Most recently I have been touring with Maggie Reilly and Mari Wilson, both in Europe and the UK.

I've given many drum clinics and performed at various percussion festivals all over the world including South America, Europe and the Far East. I am also a regular contributor to the 'Professional Programme' for the ..MODERN MUSIC SCHOOL

'The World Beneath Our Feet' was a track I wrote especially recorded for one of my clinic tours for Zildjian, and recorded live in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. I always try and make my clinics more like gigs than lessons..

There's even more info and an interview from 'Rhythm' magazine on the DrummerWorld site HERE .

After having to take a little time off from playing drums a few years ago, ( a long story), I got more and more busy as a composer and producer writing extensively for TV,. with clients including the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, The FA, Motorola, World Rally Championship, The RFL Carnegie Cup, Setanta Sports and others.

After signing to the highly regarded label ..REINFORCED RECORDS releasing several EPs in the 'ISOMETRIC' series. You can listen to two of the tracks on this site.

Whilst writing the 'Swarm Intelligence' EP, it came to the notice of vocalist Renn, which led to the formation of ..FLASHMAN You can also find Flashman on MySpace, just click the link on my 'friends' page. You can find all the tracks available to download from ..iTUNES

'Soft in Light' and 'Loco' are taken from the Flashman CD.

I will feature on the new Charlie CD which will be released later this year.

You might find me playing with my occasional band, The Fabulous Lampshade Sisters , at various dives, sorry prestigious live music venues, around London...

I've also written under the pseudonym Steve Ruff and you can access some of this material on iTUNES ..HERE

I am really enjoying drumming more than ever and am looking forward to some new adventures in the world they call 'music'. A small triumph of optimism over experience you might say.....

I am currently developing an exciting new band project with several other excellent musicians, and will keep updating my BLOG as things progress.
