Darren Beckett

Independent, Brandon flowers, Mercury Rev, Ambulance ltd, Darren Beckett trio

I started playing drums at 4 years old, after my dad would leave his kit set up in the living room. I've played with Brandon Flowers of The Killers on his last 2 solo albums and tours, and co-written on his last album. I played with Lauryn Hill, Andy Summers, Madeleine Peyroux, and am currently touring with Amen Dunes, Mercury Rev, and my own band which recently reformed, Ambulance ltd. I tour jazz festivals in Europe with The Darren Beckett (jazz), and continue to play jazz in London, and New York where I lived for 20 years. I love all kinds of music, what makes me tick is creating music with my peers, and continuing to get better.

    I love the Vic Firth SD-11's as I play such a variety of music, from jazz to Indie rock. I feel I'm in safe hands every time I walk on stage, knowing these incredible sticks are in my hands.
