The Barnard Family - Adam
Jim, Bob, Len, Tony and Adam

Tony's brother Adam is an accomplished drummer and percussionist following in his uncles Len's footsteps. Infamous for his musical sense of humor he freely crosses from jazz to rock and even, gulp, computer music.
Adam can rarely be contained behind a mere drum kit and on moments of extreme inspiration will come out from behind the drums and play into the audience where nothing is safe from his blistering syncopated rhythms.

In this photo Adam plays an unexpected duet with bass legend Smedly Qua, much to the delight of the audience, on a recent country tour with the Qua brothers.

Based in Australia, Adam is available for session work now.

Adam caught in a rare serious moment


Adam plays into the audience, nothing is safe, drinks,
bottles tables, feet and heads!
