Ben became a drummer from the day he was born. Belonging to a family of musicians,whether it’s tapping on inverted buckets in his room as a youngster to playing a full drum kit in concerts as an adult, Ben’s passion for drumming is instinctive. With over 10 years of drumming experience, Benjamin Stephen is not only a polished drummer but a well rounded musician. He started his carrier 8 years back with a garage rock band known as Alectrois , now playing with a well known Hindi rock band Astravidh. A highly regarded specialist in drum set technique, Ben has spent the last few years perfecting a system that allows drummers to play with extraordinary speed, power, endurance, and precision. Ben’s development from a tender age is firmly due to his disciplined approach to learning as well as exceptional guidance from his 2 teachers.

With a passion for Rock and inspiring others, he began a successful drum teaching career, becoming one of the most sought-after clinicians and now lending his services to Drum Zone. His influences are SOAD,Creed,Led Zepline,Porcupine Tree,Alter Bridge,Audio Slave,Greenday,RHCP,Stone temple pilot,Judas Priest.

“To me, there are three types of musicians. Musicians who are classically trained and read music flawlessly, musicians who can improvise and have a natural ability to jam, or musicians who have both qualities. I like to embrace all three types. I started my drumming life as someone who was very good at hearing music and having the memory to play it back how I’d imagine it to sound. But after being taught how to read music, it quickly becomes clear that you can discover a virtually unlimited amount of rhythm out there in the world” says Ben.
