Ciara Chinniah
Hi! I’m Ciara (pronounced Keer-Ra or Keira) but some people just call me Ciz. I’m a drummer and have been playing and teaching drums for over two decades.
I've played in bands, theatre shows and travelled all over the world.
Now I am a mama of two, I run drum camps, drum retreats and offer group drum experiences online.
