About Me

Hello Everybody,Josh Heffernan here...... I'm a drummer/percussionist from Pasedena, CA. Short bio of my playing. Played in the Army for the Afro Cuban band in Panama City, Panama and also the Wind Ensamble and Jazz combo groups in Ft.Lewis, WA. I graduated from LA Music academy then studied with the great Ralph Humphrey's for about a year...still dream about groupings!! Worked on Royal Caribbean cruises in the 12 piece A bands in mexico, and all over the caribbean. Been playing for a great brasilian band on and off for years called New Cycle. The 2 sample tracks on my page are from a great artist named Antonio Sol that I record and play with. All in all I just love to play....Its one of the greatest joys in my life. Hope you enjoy, always down to meet new people,musicians, bands. So hit me up and lets chat. Remember....Everythings better with music! MyGen Profile Generator
