The Captain Spalding Band was an integral part of Jim's development consistently performing up to 300 shows per year that comprised of many lengthy residencies and interstate/international shows.

As a past student of many of Australia's leading and influential drummers, including Frank Corniola, Darryn Farrugia, David Jones, Ron Copper and Ron Sandilands, Jim developed a strong sense of the fundamentals of drum-kit studies and in 1994 was runner-up in 'Australia's Best Up & Coming Drummer Competition' which led to endorsements from major drum companies Sabian, Premier, Vader and Evans. Since 1989 Jim has operated A To Z Drum Tuition, teaching through numerous Melbourne schools. 

'Welcome To The Numb' is a three piece original melodic rock band which is a focal point of Jim's career. WTTN, who originate out of Melbourne is a medium for expressing Jim's passion for not only his drumming and vocal skills but also as a songwriter and producer. WTTN had some success in 2012 with the single In This Memory going to #1 on iHeart Radio America and their Australian release of Sister being played nationally on Triple M.

Jim was also Drummer/Vocalist for renowned Melbourne cover band Adam 12 and is currently Drummer/Backing Vocalist with Cool Change, The Little River Band Story.
