With over 37 years of being a pro drummer, 9 years touring the World with The Searchers, Scott is one of those 'go to' drummers people call upon.
Being click, score friendly and an all round nice guy, is why he gets picked for one off shows/deps or tours.

Scott is a great drummer and it was really fun having him as part of our band. I highly recommend him to anybody looking for a reliable drummer, who is not only talented, but also has a shiny drum kit!

Hi Scott,
I just wanted to thank you again for helping us out at short notice when our drummer let us down for a private party booking.
You had obviously done your homework and played the set of more than thirty songs flawlessly. Even when we deviated from the set list with several impromptu audience requests, you were able to take the lead and lay down a solid foundation for the band to follow.
Although you had never even met the band before the event, you fitted in perfectly and nobody would have known that you were not a permanent member.
I had several comments from the other band members praising the quality & sound of your kit and the accuracy of your interpretations – all true to the originals.
The client was delighted and we also received many compliments from the guests.
A pleasant and friendly guy to work with and a true professional, you will certainly be our first choice next time we need a dep.
Regards
Dave Evans.

“Scott was totally professional in every respect. Having never played with us before, his drumming was impeccable and he dealt with everything the band threw at him effortlessly! He has a cheerful disposition and was very easy to work with. We very much look forward to working with him again”
“Scott recently depped for our band and it was a great pleasure to work with him. Punctual, great player and good fun to work with! Thanks Scott!”
“Scott Ottaway is a truly inspirational drummer. He has honed his skills over many years and he has accomplished what many professional drummers can only aspire to, and that is to be part of a legendary chart topping band, with several World wide tours under his belt. There can be no doubt what so ever that he is a consummate artiste with an impressive CV”

“Just watching Roy Orbison black and White night DVD. Running Scared, brilliant, but in my opinion Spencers version is better, specially with Scott Ottaway drumming. ”
