Jesse W.

All ages, Any level

Jesse Wallace is a professional drummer and teacher living in NYC. Growing up in a musical family, he was consumed by music early on, began playing drums at age 7, and has spent almost every moment thereafter pursuing a life of music and drumming.

After playing in rock bands throughout middle and high school, he graduated with a BA in Music Performance from University of Massachusetts at Lowell, where he studied Jazz and Afro-Cuban drumming. He has since studied Latin jazz and Afro-Pop drumming at The Drummer's Collective in NYC.

Jesse has always thrived on his diversity as a musician, whether he's playing with his New Orleans funk/soul/r'n'b band Jellyroll Fats and The Zulu Kings, Afro/funk/soul/bugalu orchestra Abrazos, salsa band Los Salsatanes, oddrock group Bryan Wade's Ghost Notes, or any of the wonderfully varied other projects Jesse has had the pleasure to work with.
