Matt Chivers

Matt is a professional drummer based in West Essex. He is experienced in a wide variety of musical genres; Rock, Metal, Indie, Drum and Bass, Reggae, Ska, Folk, Pop, Country, RnB, Blues, and much more. He has the resources to record drum tracks from home, using either an electric or acoustic drum kit, and is able to learn any song to a high standard in a short space of time. Matt has been performing with bands since 2004. He is currently providing drums for Indie/Folk band St.Clair, and hardcore band Shattered Knees. Each band showcases two entirely different styles of drumming, St.Clair's wistful sounds utilise a style of drumming that remains largely in the background, taking on a more supporting role, whereas Shattered Knees' aggressive and fast paced noise has the drums very much in the forefront, with hard hitting patterns and a flurry of drum fills playing a very pivotal role in each song. Recently Matt took on the role of session drummer for The Wandering Hearts, a Folk/Americana band based in London, and shared the stage with them at venues such as Hyde Park, IndigO2, and Bush Hall.
