Darren Lee is a professional drummer from Adelaide, South Australia. Born in Manchester UK, he began his drumming career at the age of 10 and at 13 moved to Australia with his family.
With a broad range of influences, Darren has a unique style that is versatile and adaptable whilst remaining tight and punchy. His ability to learn quickly and maintain a strong groove has ensured a variety of different studio and live projects throughout Australia and the U.K. Comfortable playing with or without a ‘click’, examples of Darren’s hard hitting, dynamic style can be heard here.
Bands and artists Darren has worked with include My Scarlet Darling, BB Steal, James Gary, John Schuman, Ethyls Wreck, Waiting for Venus and Kickstart, he has also shared stages with international artists such as The Divinyls, Ian Gillan, Scatterbrain, The Screaming Jets, The Angels and Killing Heidi.

Along with his strong work ethic, Darren’s passion for drumming and music in general have made him an integral part of any project he has been involved in as a drummer and a songwriter. Having lived and played music in Australia since moving there, he decided to relocate back to the UK in September 2005 and is now based in London.
