BEN THATCHER (ROYAL BLOOD)

PLAYERS

Being closely associated with the local music scene and drumming community, it wasn’t long before word started filtering through that Royal Blood were much more than your average indie rock group. As soon as we heard the demos, it was apparent that these guys had something a little bit special.

The music spoke for itself, but what immediately impressed was Ben’s solid powerful style and confident, lean musicality. As well as being an all round lovely fella, his humble and professional attitude made up my mind to offer Ben his own signature snare drum.
