Chris Turner is known as one of the most unique, powerful and tight drummers on the circuit, providing a rock-solid backbeat to his Metalcore band ‘Oceans Ate Alaska’. He is known worldwide for his fast, hard-hitting, and painstakingly precise playing pushing physical boundaries to playing the drums.
He strictly refuses the use of any triggers or samples to replace or enhance his drum sound, as well as refusing his work to be snapped onto a grid. “I get excited by a great performance, not by a great edit,” says Turner. His organic and traditional approach to recording, combined with his modern and creative playing is something not to be missed!
Chris was winner of the 2022 Drumeo Louie Bellson Award which recognises drummers who have displayed excellence and creativity in double bass drumming and also winner of 2017 Modern Drummer Up & Coming drummer award, the first UK drummer to win this category.
This masterclass with Chris will see him playing DWe, the world’s first convertible Acoustic/electronic drum kit and in particular demonstrate how this can help with improving the timing, accuracy, feel and power of your double bass playing.
This is an opportunity to get up close with one of the most respected and in-demand drummers at the leading edge of metal drumming and see him giving the first UK public performance of the revolutionary DWe wireless electronic kit.
