Colin Hilborne has stories to tell! As the drum tech for performers such as Faces and Elton John, Colin has seen his share of wild concerts and screaming fans! Behind those stories are the moments Colin worked his magic to set up and often repair the musical instruments needed for each performance. As a drum tech he often created repairs using tape and string from his shirt threads in order to get the gear working for the gigs. Over time he designed his own drum pads as well as producing recordings. Colin was interviewed during the Nashville Summer NAMM Show in July 2011.
