Tom’s solid rhythms and funky grooves are a big part of the Stephanie Westdal Band sound. Delivered through studio-quality electronic drums, Tom’s flawless beats and tasteful fills provide the band with a dynamic foundation that supports the group’s wide range of musical genres.
Tom began playing night clubs and touring major cities across Canada at a young age. As a founding member of the Canadian pop/rock band See Spot Run in the 1980s, Tom learned the intricacies of the music business and gained valuable experience in the recording studio, including with record producer and former April Wine member Gary Moffet.
Tom, who grew up in Montreal and has lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba since 1990, prides himself in providing the right drumming for the right song. He is just as comfortable texturizing melodies with tasteful conga and timbale rhythms as he is filling the dance floor with driving drum beats.
With well over 2,000 live performances under his belt, Tom’s in-the-pocket drumming, backing vocals and musicianship are an integral part of a Stephanie Westdal Band performance.
