Andy Hewitt of Manchester

Andy Hewitt is a friend from a long time ago who also plays the drums - as you can see from the very stylish logo above, he is also a self confessed Apple Mac addict. Andy also plays drums in a covers band called The Fakes (clicking on the Apple logo above will take you to their site). You can also find Andy in the 'old' gallery (he hates these old pics so I think it's only fair that I tell you where they are).

Now freeze, Andy. Only chance to get the big shot of you and your kit.... and he blinks..... Andy and his Pearl Export in Red. Here you also find Paiste 2002 Hi Hats and a Premier snare that he swears by. It's infinitely more practical than my monster.

The Pearl on its own. That's a serious boom stand.

Like myself, Andy is the proud owner of a Roland TD6. It was Andy who pointed out to me that you could plug iPods into the rear of these and play along with your heroes. His has a real mesh head on the snare and a much better bass drum pad.

Andy caught unawares behind the ultimate Roland kit (the TD20) in Dawsons, Manchester. At least he didn't blink this time.
