Tony McNally
Independent Artist | Wild Cats of Kilkenny | The Whisky Priests | The Toxic Kangeroo Babies
Tony McNally was brought up in a musical family and is a prodigious talent. He toured the UK performing from the tender age of 8, playing 2 or more gigs per week with his family show. He went on to win 1st place in a National UK Drum Soloist Competition organised by the Drummers’ Alliance. Tony’s theatre credits include his work with percussion artists ‘Stomp’, ‘Live Theatre’ and ‘Northern Stage’. He has grown to be a truly international artist: from being the opening act for ‘Buddy Guy’ in Cologne and headlining at the Markthalle/Hamburg as a member of ‘The Whisky Priests’, to his popular one man shows in Europe.
Tony is amongst the small percentage of highly regarded educationalists in the UK who have achieved ‘Advanced Skills Teacher’ status in music. He continues to be much in demand as a session musician and with his online teaching. Tony has presented many drum clinics, including many masterclasses with Drumming’s Global Ambassador ‘Dom Famularo.’ Finally, Tony is founder of multi-award winning ToneAlly teaching tools and is currently working on his 4th studio album, along with his first drum book, both due for commercial release 2022.
"Tried WTS at NAMM 2019! Loved the drums, the concept, the family! These are THE best drums I have ever tried! That's why I'm playing them......nothing else."
