John Scullion

John Scullion, a four-time winner of the World Solo Drumming Championship, and winner of Champion of Champions, is recognised today as a premier master of the Scottish snare drum. A native of Northern Ireland, John moved to Scotland in the early 1970s where he played for a number of years in Shotts and Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band under his mentor, Alex Duthart, the father of the modern Scottish drum corps music. Scullion led the Shotts corps to its first top finish at the World Pipe Band Championships. In 1991 he joined the Scottish Power Pipe Band and over 11 years won several championships with that world-famous band.

Even while maintaining his roots in his native Northern Ireland, John continues to be a popular teacher, performer as well as a much sought-after judge of drumming and bagpipe competitions all over the world. He is also a prolific composer of band and solo drum scores and now has released his long-awaited The Fairly Together Programme 2nd edition.
