Session Drummer, Live Drummer

Jonathan Louis on SoundBetter

Power. Passion. Drums! From original Punk Rock start ups to cover bands to original Art Rock/Prog bands, I bring exciting visual controlled chaos to live touring opportunities and tight, pocket-focused grooves to your studio recording needs. All under 18 years of professional experience!

It all started on Christmas of 2008 when I received the video game Rock Band. Working my way from Easy to Expert, I went on to study drumming for six years under two private instructors: one focusing on classic rock and jazz, and the other on hard rock and heavy metal.

I’ve spent 18 years professionally behind the kit refining my sound, taking deep inspiration from classic rock powerhouses like Keith Moon, Ian Paice, Neil Peart, Eric Carr, and Alex Van Halen, as well as 1970s session legends like Jim Gordon and Jim Keltner.

If you want drums with a style straight out of 1975, packed with raw power, dynamic feel, but with modern studio precision, then I am your man! I bring my voice to the instrument as well as my expertise to your original music, whether for remote studio tracking or live tour support. I play Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Blues, Funk, Soul, Pop, and Musical Theater. I will provide high-quality multitrack WAV stems (raw or mix-ready), tight click/metronome alignment, and I can read charts/sheet music. Let’s bring your tracks to life!
