Greg – Lead Vocals<\/h3>\n
\n

Greg can literally say he grew up with music in his blood. At an early age his parents would be out gigging in local pubs and Greg would be there, usually asleep under a table on a Friday and Saturday night!<\/p>\n

With this upbringing so engrained it was inevitable he would eventually become the lead singer of a rock band and Heathen are that band. Greg has wanted to do this for years and it\u2019s taken quite a few to get there, but now things have never looked better and he can hardly wait until the next gig!<\/p>\n

Greg uses Shure<\/a> Microphones and ACS<\/a> custom in-ear monitors.<\/p>\n

Steve – Drums<\/h3>\n
\n

Steve started playing the drums at the age of 6. Back then his drum kit was made from upturned Ice Cream Tubs! After getting a \u201cReal\u201d drum kit on turning 15 he played for various band\u2019s, did a few local gigs but it never came to much. Back now with his Brother and fellow \u201cHeathen\u2019s\u201d the childhood dream has become a reality, with gig\u2019s as far afield as Brandon, maybe next year Heathen could be taking on the world!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Steve uses <\/span>Tama Drums<\/a>, <\/span>Sabian Cymbals<\/a>, <\/span>Evans Drum Heads<\/a> , Remo Drum Heads<\/a>, <\/span>ProMark Drum Sticks<\/a> , <\/span>DrumDial Precision Drum Tuners<\/a> , <\/span>LP Percussion<\/a>, <\/span>Roland Hybrid Drums<\/a> and <\/span>Shure<\/a> in-ear monitors. (freebies from any of these companies would make him a very happy drummer!!)<\/span><\/p>\n
