ABOUT

Hey! My name is Wesley and I am an established local drummer offering my services. I am experienced in both studio and stage settings, and I have a bachelor's degree in Jazz Performance & Composition from Capilano University. I have played in bands ranging in styles all the way from classical to hardcore. I have been taught by, and have studied with world-class musicians, including my current mentor, jazz drumming legend Joe Farnsworth. I am very punctual, communicative, and I pride myself in bringing a great attitude and musicality into every project. If you need a serious drummer to help elevate your recordings, or if you need a committed member of your group, I would be honoured to work with you. I also offer remote recording/session work and file sharing from my home studio, so distance is not an issue for me.
