WARREN HALL - Percussion

There's not much to say about Warren other than the only thing he does better than drum is dress. Warren is the man in the retro Coleman cap usually found to be wearing classic shirts which cost more money than the kit he is sitting on. A hugely sought after drummer in Western Australia, Warren has performed all over the world with various outfits over the past 15 years. His emotional drumming is a highlight to watch at Murder Mouse shows.
