Biography

Ted joined Sacred blade in 1986, replacing original drummer Paul Davis, after coming into the organisation several years prior as an assistant to Davis. His debut live performance was opening for Saxon in the summer of 1986. The performance was made more memorable when one of our trusted roadies flew 10 feet up into the air while stopping a falling stage curtain intent on wiping out the Ayotte kit Ted was borrowing for the performance.

Ted's first studio experience with Sacred Blade was in the summer of 1987 recording the first and second demos of the entire"Seven Moonz of Xercez" album. His first published performance was on the band's 1988 demo.

When not beating the life out of his kit, he works as a certified auto technician.
