Chris Maitland (born 13 May 1964 in Cambridge, England) is a highly regarded English drummer. After being the live drummer for No-Man on its Autumn 1993 tour (and playing on two tracks on its Flowermouth album), Chris was asked by the band's Steven Wilson to join his other main project, the progressive rock band, Porcupine Tree. until he was sacked in February 2002 - allegedly for assaulting the singer, and was succeeded by Gavin Harrison[1].1 Between 2004/2005, Chris was a member of the acclaimed progressive rock supergroup Kino. Throughout his career, Chris has been involved with many West End musicals and from 2005 onwards he has been playing drums on the Mamma Mia! International Tour.

DPRP : CONCERT REVIEW ARCHIVE (1053 words)
Chris Maitland's big drum kit played an important and smart role in the light show, lights bouncing of his big cymbals and golden toms.
As was to be expected, the setlist focussed on the more song-orientated material of the last three albums, with 6 out of the 10 song from Lightbulb Sun, 4 songs from Stupid Dream and 2 songs from Signify.
Chris Maitland was as energetic as ever on drums and Steve Wilson was producing the marvellous distorted heavy guitar sounds we have come to know and love.
