Drumming News
In a competitive industry full of top players, a drummer who gets to keep a gig for over 13 years must be special.
From his early beginnings playing in church in his home town of Birmingham, Hepburn soon found himself drawn towards London where professional gigs awaited.
Over the next few years he made a name as one of the most versatile and solid drummers in the UK and accumulated names like Mis-teeq, Ms Dynamite, Lemar, and Adele on his CV.
Today, Donavan is a sought after drummer far beyond Britain’s borders and spends most of his year touring the world with two very different acts, demonstrating his relevance across all genres: tight grooves and electronics with English pop icons Take That; and tasty, all-acoustic drumming with an old school twist as part of songwriting legend Jeff Lynne’s ELO.
