About Josh Coombes

Josh first picked up the sticks at the age of 11. It didn't take long before he was already playing live with the Jazz and Concert bands in school and with his love of rock music, he soon became a founding member in a band that would go onto record two records and play many shows before turning 16. During this time he carried on playing in the school bands which gave him his first opportunity to tour Europe at the age of 15.

After finishing his GCSE's, he auditioned for the world famous 'Tech Music Schools', now in association with BIMM in London where he would go on to graduate from the Diploma and Master Performance before turning 19. Since leaving the school and taking everything he learned with him, he has played for various bands, both his own and as a session drummer. This work has gained him even more studio and tour experience and has taken him around the world playing shows.

Josh is currently playing for his own band 'The Hype Theory'. The band has released two albums under Small Town Records (UK) and Twilight Records (Japan). The Second album, 'Captives' (2013) peaked at No. 35 in the charts on the first day of release. With their music videos getting extensive play on T.V channels such as Kerrang! and Scuzz, Josh has toured with 'The Hype Theory' around the UK many times, Europe and at the end of 2012, Japan! Josh has appeared at some of the UK's biggest festivals including Download, Sonisphere and T in the Park. As well as this, he played Warped Tour UK at Alexandra Palace at the end of 2013.

Josh has also worked as a Drum Tech in Academies and Arenas around the UK with UK band 'Paighton'.
