Artist bio

Ben Frampton is a Leeds-based drummer known for his versatility, technical precision, and dynamic stage presence, involving proficiency across multiple genres. 

While being mentored by João Figueiredo, a strong technical foundation was discovered and a wide range of musical styles were heavily explored. Frampton's influences include Jeff Porcaro and Simon Phillips (Toto), Bernard Purdie, John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), and Stewart Copeland (The Police). Studying these legendary drummers helped shape his signature style, balancing precision, power, and groove.

At the end of 2018, Frampton co-founded No Redemption with Louie Appleyard (guitar/vocals) and Ashudeep Saggu (bass), who was later replaced by Flynn Watson. The band quickly built a reputation for their hard-hitting sound and high-energy performances, standing out in the Leeds music scene. Through relentless rehearsals, song writing, and live shows, No Redemption has continued to grow, with Frampton’s drumming playing a key role in their dynamic and powerful sound.

His hard work and dedication was noticed by Billy Memphis, the frontman of The North of which he was asked to join. As their drummer, he recorded on their debut single, "Changin’ People", which surpassed an astonishing 10,000 streams on Spotify. During this time, he was given the opportunity to perform at First Direct Arena as part of Leeds Junior Conservatoire. However, in early 2024, his commitment to No Redemption led to conflicts with The North, and he parted ways with the band to focus on his primary musical projects.

With extensive live performance and recording experience, Frampton has since worked with artists/ bands such as Cezza Sean, See The Sky and Verdigris.

In building a career as a session drummer and working with artists across different styles/ genres, he has brought his distinct drumming style to a variety of projects.

Frampton’s adaptability, dedication, and passion for music make him a standout drummer in the UK scene. With each new opportunity, he continues to prove his place as both a powerful performer and a hard working artist.
