James Perry is a professional drummer with over 30 years of playing and touring experience, currently holding the drum throne for legendary UK thrash metal band Onslaught and serving as a session drummer for extreme black metal outfit Anaal Nathrakh. Based in the UK, James also brings his powerful, precise style to Red Method, an up-and-coming metal band from London. Born into a musical family and inspired by his drummer father, James has been dedicated to the instrument since he was old enough to hold a stick, channeling a lifelong passion into a career defined by intensity, discipline, and musical versatility.
Over the years, James has played on numerous recording sessions and had the privilege of working with some of the most iconic producers and engineers in rock and metal, including Eddie Kramer (Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix), Russ Russell (Napalm Death, At the Gates), Scott Atkins (Cradle of Filth, Behemoth), and Alex Robinson (Bullet for My Valentine). When not on the road, he’s constantly refining his technique, learning new material for session work, and staying at the top of his game as one of the UK's most reliable and hard-hitting drummers.
“Remo have been my go-to drumheads for my whole life. I’ve been playing drums since I was old enough to hold a stick, following in my dad’s footsteps, and I’ve always thought they sound the best. They are the industry standard for a reason and there’s no better sounding head out there. With consistent recording and touring work, I need a head that can live up to the music style we play, withstand the energy and aggression that our music requires, and Remo has never let me down.” - James Perry
