Tim

Provides the solid back beat for Dr.Rox... worked with Glyn in 'Sabre', whose 20th anniversary reunion gig in July 2000 gave rise to Dr.Rox....also had spells in Accoustic Drainpipe, Mr.Jinx and Moocher...

In addition to drums helps out on vocal harmonies, providing that useful third voice to fill out the sound...recently traded in a twenty year old black 'Tama' drum kit for a Yamaha "Stage Custom" setup in cranberry red. Tim favours a powerful natural sound & achieves this by using a Roland TD8 Module & ddrum triggers . Prefers the natural sound of real cymbals & like most drummers swears by “Paiste” and Zildjian.

Still uses an original Ludwig Black Beauty' snare.

Takes up most room on stage, especially after setting up the drums, but usualy manages to leave a little space for the rest of the band!

Favourite Dr.Rox covers?

Says he enjoys them all, but went for “Tobacco Road” and 'Sweet Child of Mine'.

Musical influences?

Drummers - the dear departed Cozy Powell (god rest his soul in rock'n'roll heaven)... for sheer technical skill Carmine Appice was the dog's tom toms and gave Tim something to aim for as a kid (still aiming, never got there yet!)

Non-musical influences?

Lorraine Kelly. Captain Condom, curer of virgins! The Cast of 'Oh Calcutta'. Holland's Pies. Pamela Anderson (gave me something to aim for as a kid). Percy Thrower (joke). Pifco Electronics (crazy name, crazy products).

Best gig?

'The Station Tavern' at Lytham, the crowd are great and it feels like home each time we go back....

Dark secret?...Once lost a bet and had to bare his bum in Burton's window.
