Steve White started his love affair with drums when he joined the army in 1965 and became a front rank side drummer, in the corps of drums of the 1st battalion the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment. Touring extensively in Europe over the next six years with the regiment band, Steve and his comrades picked up valuable experience in the ways of the world (and learned to play a bit too)!

On leaving the army in 1971, Steve soaked up the flourishing wave of rock music on offer from England and America. From amongst a myriad of names he will cite as influences CSNY, Deep Purple, Yes, Genesis, Beatles, Eagles, Kansas, Toto, Heart, and of course his all time favorites, the mighty Jethro Tull.

Steve joined his first band in 1972, and has been in and out of various bands ever since, notable Juggler, Crossfire, Skram, Terra Firma.

He would like to say a huge “Thanks” to everyone he’s ever liked and would also like to curse a plague of locusts on anyone who parks across his dropped kerb (unless they’ve come to buy a drum kit of course)!
