Lawrence Edward Mullins (also known as Toby Dammit) (born 13 December 1966 in Knoxville, Tennessee, is an American musician, record producer, and composer. A multi-instrumentalist (primarily drums, percussion, and keyboards), Mullins is best known as a member of the bands Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Swans, as well as a former member of The Stooges and other incarnations of Iggy Pop’s bands. He has also worked extensively in music for films and television, and had a performance role in the German cable series Babylon Berlin.

Music Career
Mullins played drums in Iggy Pop’s band from 1990 to 1999, recording three albums and additional works created specifically for films. In 2011, he joined Iggy and The Stooges in England, and remained their live drummer until their final performance in 2013.

Mullins joined Swans in 1995 and continued working with Michael Gira in Angels of Light into 2001. He rejoined Swans in 2019 for the recording of their album Leaving Meaning, and remains a member today.

Mullins's percussion work appeared throughout the score for Johnny Depp's 1997 film The Brave, where he is credited as "Lawrence Mullins." His original composition for the theme of director Tom Tykwer's German cable series Babylon Berlin, in which he had a screen role as big band drummer Willy Schuricke, was published as sheet music in 2020. In 2021, Mullins performed on drums for Anna Calvi’s score for the 2022 Peaky Blinders cable series.

In 2015, Mullins began performing live with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds as keyboardist, and continued performing with them during their world tour for the album Skeleton Tree. The tour for the album was documented in the film Distant Sky: Live in Copenhagen. In October, 2018, he switched from playing keyboards to playing drums for the band. Mullins drummed for the Ghosteen European tour in 2022, and afterwards joined Nick Cave and Warren Ellis for their Carnage tour of Australia.
