"With Evans, I have found heads that are durable enough to last me entire tours, while simultaneously delivering massive tones that help me stand out from the crowd. Coupled with the ProMark Hickory 2B, my sound is complete."

"The Red Hydraulic was a game-changer for me, with its incredibly hardwearing UV coating and open tone. A must-have for all my studio and live work."

ABOUT Ali Richardson
Born and raised outside Glasgow, Scotland, Ali first picked up sticks at age 13. He received his first drum kit soon after. Listening to bands like Pantera, Tool, and Lamb of God, he immediately began developing his own voice behind the kit — a voice that focused heavily on power and groove.
Following these principles, Ali has built an impressive following online, while performing regularly on tour and in the studio. In 2016, he was nominated as Rhythm’s “Best New Drummer” and a had a 4-page feature in the popular UK magazine.
Ali is a founding member of Bleed From Within and has been a full-time member of Sylosis since 2015. He has toured extensively over the past decade, alongside metal giants like Megadeth, Lamb Of God, Amon Amarth, Testament, and Children Of Bodom. He has also performed at a number of festivals including Download (UK), Bloodstock (UK), HellFest (FR), Graspop Metal Meeting (BEL), Summer Breeze (GER), and Pukkelpop (BEL).
