HELLO.

Welcome to my website. I’m a British drummer and producer based in Queens, New York City. I’ve been playing drums for over 30 years and have had the honor of working with many outstanding musicians. I was the drummer with rock band Augustines for 5½ years and recorded and co-produced two albums with them. Together we played over 500 shows in 20 different countries.

Finding good musicians can be a struggle, and finding musicians who are reliable can be even harder, especially when working within the constraints of a tight budget – and let’s be honest, that’s the majority of musicians in today’s climate. I started this website with the aim of being able to offer a range of affordable drum + music services, with no compromise on time or quality.

If you are interested in working with me, whether it’s for a live show, tour or studio project, drop me a line.

TESTIMONIES

‘Rob is truly one of the greats. His feel and creativity elevates every project he is a part of. Watching Rob behind the kit is a lesson in confidence, a power that only comes from decades of dedication.’

Eric Sanderson
Producer + engineer

Death Cab for Cutie, Brian Fallon, AugustInes

‘Working with Rob Allen is a joy. We have worked together on many projects dating back to his time in the (excellent) band Augustines. He is an absolute beast behind the kit. Rob's technical skills combine with great taste, creativity, experience and an ear for music allow him to push any given song further while working to achieve the vision of the songwriter/producer. A true professional in every sense of the word.’

‘Rob has been one of my all-time favorite drummers to work with in the studio. His groove and pocket are always spot on and his intuition for nuances that will improve the songs overall. The magic ingredient is his positive and joyous attitude towards the work.’
