TomGDrummer
Hello Folks!
Welcome
I'm Tom a self confessed Drum Nut, and have been tub thumping for the best part of 20 years.
Im best known for working with artists including: The Hysterical Injury, The Penelope's, Beggars Opera, and Ricky Gardiner Guitarist to name a few.
I was born into a musical family, my farther was legendary guitarist Ricky Gardiner, who formed prog legends Beggars Opera, and went on to work with David Bowie and Iggy Pop, featuring on David's 'Low' Album, and Iggy's 'Lust for Life'.
My mother Virginia Scott is a composer/artist part of Beggars Opera, and my sister Annie Gardiner is an artist, performer, songwriter. We've worked extensively together in projects Hysterical Injury, and Excellent Birds.
Feel free to enjoy my site where you can hear my solo project DruManTra, and all other music I've played on.
Plus if your looking to learn drumming, I have a selection of self study drum courses available.
DruMantra
DruMantra is my new experimental solo project given birth during lockdown.
With zero expectations other than seeing what happens with the tools at hand.
Drums, logic X synths, The Great Outdoors, and my Imagination, all of which are semi improvised to an audio visual finish.

'When The Drummer Played The City'
WTDPTC is an experiment of drummer Tom Gardiner using Bristol as a drum kit. Using the original audio to produce an interesting triggered synth texture.
