Tom's journey began on TikTok.
Where his grooves, creativity, and down-to-earth personality quickly built a global following. What started as short-form content soon became a real community of drummers connecting through shared progress and creativity.
Today, Instagram is Tom’s main platform, with over 250,000 followers and reels regularly reaching hundreds of thousands of players worldwide. His content blends sharp technique with playful musicality — showing both serious skill and genuine character.
Offline, Tom brings that same energy into drum clinics and live education, including major sessions with Protection Racket. Whether on screen or in person, his focus remains the same: connection, growth, and enjoying the process of getting better.
Why Tom endorses Above Average
Tom endorses Above Average because the brand reflects the same mindset that shapes his work — progress over perfection, authenticity over image, and consistency over shortcuts.
Alongside partnerships with established names like Evans, Promark, and Protection Racket, Tom chooses to align with brands that genuinely support his growth as a drummer and creator. Above Average sits naturally within that space — focused on quality, longevity, and real-world use rather than trend-driven hype.
Rather than surface-level promotion, this collaboration is rooted in shared values. It’s about representing brands that respect the craft, the process, and the people behind it — the same principles that underpin everything Tom builds online and in person.
Why Tom aligns with DRMMR
The DRMMR identity exists for drummers who treat their craft as part of who they are — not just something they do. That philosophy fits naturally with how Tom approaches music, creativity, and community.
His playing balances technical ability with feel, musicality, and personality. He values growth, curiosity, and expression over ego or showmanship, creating content that inspires players to enjoy the journey rather than chase perfection.
For Tom, drumming is identity, connection, and momentum. DRMMR reflects that same belief: progress lives in consistency, passion, and showing up every day with intent.
