Multi Genre Session Drummer

Junior Padilla on SoundBetter

If you're looking for deep grooves and creative drumming I'm your guy. Coming from strong production/composing roots, I instantly play from within the music and set a groove so deep in the song the band simply becomes glued to it!

I posses the ability to induce great tones out of my instrument, it will become evident within the first bar of the song. I was fortunate to have studied under the legendary drum instructor Pat Petrillo at his then Groove Academy. Pat quickly turned me into a gigging drummer playing venues like The Stone Pony with various local bands in NJ. Originally from NYC I now calls Nashville, TN my home where I own a production studio, and freelance as drummer. "

My biggest asset is using my ears and heart to give the music what it's asking for along with guidance from the writer/composers. The service offer is a fully produced drum track recorded in an analog meets digital studio. I've found that this give a unique sound to recordings and gives music a deeper soulful character.
