ARTIST PROFILE
Connor Tate
Essex
band: Keepsake
STICK SIZE: 2b
I’ve known from a very young age that I wanted to be a drummer. As a toddler, I’d tap on things around me at every opportunity. Over time, those taps grew into a passion for drums leading me to some amazing opportunities and experiences. I upload drum videos to Instagram and have been a part of multiple different musical projects.
My previous band and I played gigs with the likes of Shvpes, Hacktivist and Dream State. We also toured with bands such as As Lions and As Everything Unfolds, amongst many others, in venues like The Old Blue Last and The Camden Assembly.
My current band Keepsake are looking to play shows and tour as much as possible now things are back to normal after Covid. We’ve spent our time working on new music and content which we are excited to share with the world.
WHY DO YOU PLAY COLLISION?
I play Collision’s size 2B sticks which give me a lot of power and stability while playing. Collision as a brand is really attractive to any drummer out there because you get the sense that it’s a company made by drummers, for drummers, purely from how much they support you and try to help you grow as an artist. I’d recommend them to anyone who needs some guidance with their own projects or even to someone who knows exactly what they’re doing, they will do their utmost to help you.
