Chloe Gumbley Drummer Drummer available for live performances and/or studio work.

Hi, I’m Chloe and I was born in Birmingham in the UK. My experience of drumming started at the age of eleven, now 29, I have substantial live and studio experience. While confident in many genres, I specialises in pop, rock and funk.

I graduated from Leeds College of Music in 2018, achieving a BA Honours Degree in Popular Music Performance with a high 2:1.

Following a internship program and wanting to share my love of drumming and music, in August 2022, I became a drum tutor at 'The Music Room Coventry.’ Providing 1-to-1 drum tuition for all ages and abilities. In 2024, I joined the team at ‘Tom Collins Drums’, again providing 1-to-1 drum lessons.

In 2020, I joined the successful West Midlands function band, ‘The Score,’ playing weddings, parties and corporate events most weekends. In 2025, I decided to leave the band to focus on my drum tuition but I do still dep with the band, so I will still be bringing my ‘behind the kit' dance moves to 'The Score!’

With my unstoppable amount of energy, confidence and enjoyment on stage as well as my drumming techniques and knowledge, I will always deliver my best performance. Whether it’s recording in the studio or performing live, I will bring great drive, enthusiasm and creativity into everything.
