Chris "Woody" Wood is the drummer for Bastille, the London rock band that broke out in 2013 with Pompeii and the UK number-one album Bad Blood. A Brit Award-winning four-piece who've sold millions, Bastille grew from Dan Smith's solo project into one of British rock's biggest chart and live acts, with Woody behind the kit.
