Henry Jones on SoundBetter

I am a Rock Drummer from San Diego for hire on Session and Studio Work! I have experience playing a wide variety of genres from Rock to Blues to Jazz for 10+ years. I am interested in looking for work playing live gigs and/or recording songs for bands/artists in the San Diego area.

While primarily based in Rock and Blues, I like to think of myself as a "Swiss-Army Knife" style of drummer. I am versed in other styles of drumming that include genres such as Funk, Jazz, Country, and Reggae. I am currently playing two bands: "Sunrise Company," an original Americana, Blues-Rock Band, and "Silk Jam Collective," a Psychedelic, Jam-Rock Band. I have experience recording drums on many of my current and previous bands' albums, most recently on Sunrise Company's last Spotify Album, "Sunrise Highway." I also have experience playing Drumline Percussion music in High School, in which I was Varsity Captain, and have toured across Europe doing so.

Some of my drumming influences include Neil Peart, John Bonham, Chad Smith, Ringo Starr, Clyde Stubblefield, Carlton Barrett, amongst others. Some of my musical influences include Rush, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Grateful Dead, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Ray Vaughn, amongst many others.

To follow my drumming and musical journey, you can follow me on Instagram (IG: "henryjones_drums"). You can also check out my bands on Instagram and Tik Tok (IG: "sunrise_co_band", "silk_jam_collective").

    I lived with Henry for three years and one of my enduring memories of that time is his passion for drumming. Whether he needed to unwind after a bad day or celebrate after a good one, he'd get on his drumset and play. If you're looking for someone who is always down to drum, to try new things and improve his craft, Henry is your guy!

    Consistently brings passionate energy. Versatile drummer, have heard play multiple genres and tempos and shows he’s comfortable and adaptable. Would highly recommend.

    Henry is a fantastic drummer. Ever time I hear him play I can see how focusd he is and how much fun he's having, and that carries through in the feel and quality of his performance.

    Fellow drummer here! I steal ideas from Henry. He won’t just play you a beat; he’ll use the drums to tell a story that breathes life into the song.

    Great drummer. Helps me get back in the groove when I lose it. A great musician to play with, very easygoing and intentional with his work. Hard worker, dedicated to his craft.

    I have worked with Henry Jones on multiple occasions. As a bass player myself I noticed him naturally and tastefully locking into any groove of the various genres we were playing. He is easy to work and is a great listener. I highly recommend Henry Jones if you a looking for a drummer.
