Overview

Tubby Wadsworth is an Australian Drum Educator and freelance Drum Kit Artist who specializes in applied Rudimental applications to Drum Kit.

His passion for Rudiments started after seeing and hearing local Scottish Rudimental drummng parades when he was 8 years old. Having been totally transfixed by the razor sharp precision of the drum line, he went on to study the  Standard American Rudiments under the watchful and caring eye of Senior N.S.W Police Band Percussionist Sgt Lyndsay Chate, and Tubby secured 3 consecutive state Rudimental Snare Drum Championships. 
As the years progressed, he began the touring and recording circuit in Australia, performing and recording with many successful independent acts including MASSAPPEAL, Killing Time/ Mantissa, The Candy Harlots and Fester Fanatics  and has subsequently enjoyed re - releases with several acts over the decades.  His ongoing love for Drum Set Education has seen him appear regularly as a  Clinician, conducting Workshops throughout Australia in Schools and Retail environments. 
Past Worksop presentations of note have included Workshops alongside Thomas Lang, Steve Smith and Kenny Aronoff. 
Tubby also appeared regularly as a senior judge on the panel at the prestigious National Annual Billy Hyde's Drummers Play Off Competion. 
As Tubby says,"Keep practicing, stay humble and always respect and acknowledge the better players."
