BEN GORDELIER is the drummer in The Moons, where he plays alongside Andy Crofts. The newest member of Paul's touring band but sounded like a natural early on and is now a firm fixture in the band lineup. Usually standing at the back of the stage, Gordelier really 'makes' songs like Empty Ring and Sea Spray with Crofts. Ben drummed on most tracks on 'Saturns Pattern' too, but plays a huge array of instruments live including the tambourine, maracas, and the very aesthetic Chime Bar!
Ben's Chime Bar (above) Is one of his most recognisable instruments. His website carries useful diagrams of his live setup, both with The Moons (drums) and Weller (percussion), with all of his instruments labelled. This is well worth a look as I for one wasn't aware of the variety of instruments Ben uses in the course of a gig.
