As someone who been in the industry for over 40 years, it’s exciting and refreshing to work with someone whose focus and commitment to the craft is both deep and broad.

Jeff has an obvious commitment to music and his communication with me was clear, timely, and thorough.

Beyond being an experienced player, Jeff is also very creative and works both inside and outside of the box to bring new textures, sounds and a great feel to the music.

He would be a great choice for anyone who wants to breathe the new life into their music or project.

Jeff Tripoli is one of the most innovative groove cats I know. He is super imaginative and is always pursuing that "extra" stuff that moves the needle from good to fantastic! He is bold and strong. He is also a great communicator and collaborator. Always helpful and honest while kind at the same time. Did I say that he's super cool? He is. I love working with this gentleman!

Jeff Tripoli’s drumming shows true mastery of rhythm and feel. Perspectives is a testament to his skill, blending complex, traditional grooves with an innovative, contemporary edge-showing his deep respect for the roots of percussion while pushing boundaries. When we collaborated on Wabi Sabi’s A Blessed Unrest, Jeff brought that same mastery to the session, effortlessly adding depth and a powerful pulse. His playing goes beyond technical ability; it’s about presence and intention, making each beat and sound a meaningful part of the music. He elevates any ensemble he’s in. Highly recommended.
