Martin Kearns is an English Drummer, specializing in Death Metal, known for his association with Bolt Thrower.

Martin joined Bolt Thrower when Andrew Whale left in 1994.

Martin joined the band when he was seventeen years old, after playing in several local bands in Coventry, Playing anything from Metal to Reggae; he has been playing pub gigs since the age of 14.

Bolt Thrower was the first professional band in which he played, and, due to his age, his nickname was 'Kiddie'.

He is known for his hard hitting style, probably due to having a significant John Bonham influence in his playing style.

He is also known for his dislike of triggers on a drum kit, considering their use to be false and too easy.

Kearns subsequently left due to personal reasons in 1998. Band and fans alike were happy that he returned to Bolt Thrower in 2000.

Martin is now the longest standing drummer for Bolt Thrower.

He recorded drums on both the Honour-Valour-Pride album, and on Those Once Loyal, the latter of which has been met with widespread critical acclaim from magazines such as Rock Sound, Rock Hard and Metal Hammer.
