Rob Brian

Rob has worked with Goldfrapp, Peter Gabriel, Siouxsie Sioux, Simple Minds and Jason Rebello among others. Rob played on 2 vintage kits from 2 different eras and anyone who saw Rob in this clinic will tell you that it was a must see event for vintage enthusiasts and the general public alike. Neal Wilkinson

Neal Wilkinson appeared at this year’s show to perform on a very rare Ludwig 401 snare drum previously owned by the legendary Kenny Clare. Neal also talked about the history of the drum and how he became the proud owner of an ultra rare snare drum.


Simon John's Vintage Drum Show is an annual event organised, promoted and managed by drummers for drummers to provide an opportunity for the display, promotion, trading of drums, associated products/items and drumming skills to be available to the drummers and potential drummers of the UK and beyond. It is a non-profit organisation and seeks to be self-funding.

The 2019 show will be held over the weekend of 12th and 13th October at the Standard Triumph Club in Coventry.

City of Coventry

A fascinating city in its own right, Coventry is right at the heart of the English Midlands - close to Birmingham, Leicester and the historic towns of Worcester, Leamington and Stratford upon Avon.

The city of Lady Godiva is steeped in history - it was briefly the capital of England in the 15th century - and with two universities and a population of 300,000, it offers plenty of culture including the Coventry Music Museum and some lively nightlife and live music in the nearby suburb of Earlsdon.
