Ben Schumann

Ben Schumann has been playing and performing on the drum set locally, nationally and internationally for more than thirty years.

Ben began serious gigging around Canberra, Australia at the age of seventeen. He even recalls having to have his Mum accompany him on some of his first few gigs as he was still under age for some venues!

Ben honed his skills over the ensuing years playing covers shows, musical festivals, tribute acts, theatre productions and a wide array of original bands and recording sessions. He is an in demand session player and has a command of many musical genres.

Ben was and is the drummer for various groups that include:

Night Train, The BlackSchu Band, The John Black Trio, The Bends, Black Dogs, Craig Knox Band, The Marvellous Mizdemeanours, KWB, Early Warning System, Annie & The Armadillos, The Baker Boys Band, Sweet Mischief and Sweaty Palms just to name a few!

Ben’s passion for performance and staying “match fit” is evident in the amount of live shows he plays each year and with the variety of musical acts and genres he is called on to play.
