Several times world champion drummer Derek forms the backbone of Livin' Proof with rock solid tight drumming that elevates the band beyond standard pub cover band status. Derek has performed at the very highest level, including world tours with Riverdance, and many Broadway musical seasons.

Derek also brings backing vocals and lead vocals to Livin' Proof, whom he has toured with extensively since the band's formation. As a former Army Number 1 band drummer and as a current drum teacher, Derek's exceptional musical arrangements play a central role in the sound of Livin' Proof
