Declan McKenna

I first picked up the sticks at the age of 14, after being heavily influenced by Fleetwood Mac from an early age. I cut my teeth playing in local bands around my hometown for a few years, before eventually moving to London to study at a music school at age 19. I played many gigs with many different bands around the capital for 2 years before being picked up as the drummer for indie star Declan McKenna. Since playing for Declan I have embarked on numerous world tours and played on some of the biggest stages across the globe.

  • Most memorable Next-Level Performance

    Our biggest London show to date at the O2 Kentish Town Forum was definitely a memorable next level moment for me. The atmosphere and vibe was so strong, we all just went for it. It was amazing.
  • What Drives Your Creativity?

    A lot of my creativity comes from discovering new music, I'll hear a tune and just think 'I need to play to this'. It's so fun just playing along to a track and letting the ideas flow.
  • Why do you choose Vic Firth?

    Vic Firth are the most versatile, durable and comfortable sticks I've ever played. The tone that can be achieved with Vic Firth sticks is unparalleled.
