about me
I’m Conor Ross Harrington and I thrive on playing music and helping others to reach their full potential. I love the creative process and utilizing the universal language of music to connect with others from all walks of life.
Whether you’re a band that’s looking for a solid live drummer, a musician who needs recording work, or a student looking to improve their skills, I will help you level up your work, and make a meaningful step-change to your creative endeavor.
I’ve played for talented artists, debuted at Ronnie Scott’s and I’ve received glowing recommendations from my clients and students for the quality of my work and my supportive style.
I take my drumming inspirations from Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, Yussef Dayes, Mike Clark, Nate Smith, David Garibaldi, Tito Puente and Zach Hill.
Musically it’s Frank Ocean, Pharrell, Foster the People, Bad Suns, Tyler, the Creator, Charli XCX and James Blake.
I’m able to teach and play all styles and genres, but I particularly focus on Jazz, Hip-Hop, Funk, Pop, Afro-Cuban, Afro-Brazillian and West-African.
SHOWREEL
My Services
LIVE
Whether it is creative flair or perfectly replicated grooves you’re after, let me help elevate your artistry and together we can create a live show your audience can emotionally connect with.
Every band has unique requirements so we typically work on a package of rehearsal and performing time at an hourly rate, exclusive of travel.
RECORDING
Allow me to lay down the groove foundations and backbone for how you want to share your music with the world.
Whether you want me to produce drum stems from home, or you want me to join you in a live studio, I’ll create an hourly package that meets your budget and recording needs.
TEACHING
Growth and progression are values I hold dear to my heart. I want to guide you into becoming the creative you always wanted to be and help foster your reflective thinking skills to become a more self-sufficient learner.
I offer a simple hourly tutoring rate (online or in person in Bristol) or you can bulk buy in advance for a discount.
