Career
As a professional drummer he toured the world for 20 years, including eight years as Suzi Quatro"s drummer, and then he hung up the touring boots to concentrate on teaching. This resulted in a very busy teaching studio, the aforementioned books, a percussion video and more recently, the Drumsense Teaching Project. He also used to write an educational column, called Teasers, each month for Rhythm magazine, the United Kingdom produced drummers magazine.
Now, however, he writes the Getting Started column in Rhythm magazine.
He has since resumed the "Teasers" page in United States magazine "Drumhead". Billy Cobham & Jon Hiseman are cited by Woolway as his biggest influences in drumming.
