Drummer’s Review
Porter & Davies are delighted to welcome new additions to their ever growing family: Joel Amey of Wolf Alice, Jack Lawrence-Brown with White Lies, Ashton Irwin of 5 Seconds of Summer and many more.
Joel Amey, of multi award winning band Wolf Alice, has recently purchased not one, but THREE BC2s. This light, portable, tough tactile monitor allows him to feel and experience what he plays with unparalleled response and sensitivity. Carl Griffin, Wolf Alice Tech and Monitor Engineer said: ‘It was instantly a game changer. Can’t express how much I love those things! Joel was instantly more comfortable on the kit and with monitoring too.’
Jack Lawrence-Brown, drummer with arena band White Lies and Ashton Irwin drummer with 5 Seconds of Summer also now use BC2s. Others include, Ben Barter (Lorde), Mikey Randon (Bruce Foxton), Drew McKeon (Michael Bolton), Børge Fjordheim (Session Drummer), Jeremy Hoenig (Melvin Seals) Bruce Briggz (Cirque Du Soleil), Dave Anderson (The South) and Ben Anderson (North to Nashville) who also purchased a Porter & Davies Gigster.
Mark Pusey, long term session drummer for Ed Sheeran will be joining him on his world tour for the first time. The production team of the 2022 Brit Awards Songwriter of the Year, purchased the BC2rm for Pusey to use on the tour. It has the same features as the BC2 but has been designed in a 2U 19” rack-mount layout.

He recently recorded her new album Love Sux and will be accompanying her on her world tour using his saddle throne. Talking about his TT6 Equipped Throne Reeve said: ‘The TT6 has just been incredible. I could never go back. It’s a whole body experience that has me so connected with my drums it’ll be sad to play without it. So thank you so much guys. I’m ultra-proud to be part of the Porter & Davies fam.’
Veteran drummer, Sean Moore of festival headliners Manic Street Preachers, Jim Macaulay (The Stranglers), Steve Rodford (The Zombies) and Gunner Olsen will also be using their TT6 Equipped Thrones for a busy summer of festivals and tours.
