About Me

My name is Patrick Feniello and I play the Drums. I try to be as versatile as possible while still trying to hone my skills and find my "personal sound." I've been playing for several years and played through high school as a member of marching, concert, and jazz bands.
I have played with several educational and developmental organizations such as the Jersey Shore Jazz and Blues Foundation and the Monmouth County "Arts High" Jazz Ensemble.
I've studied with several truly marvelous players and teachers. The First, George Papa, Bob Boyd, Eric McPherson, and currently Tim Horner. I have studied at the Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz of the Hartt School of Music in Hartford, Connecticut and I currently Study at New Jersey City University's program for Jazz Studies in Jersey City, NJ.
I teach drums at Rockin' Music in Middletown, NJ and Shore Music Academy in Oakhurst, NJ.
I play "Soultone Cymbals" exclusively. Information on these superior instruments can be found at www.soulsonecymbals.com
Send me a message here, or email me at [email protected] for bookings or things of that nature.

Sounds Like: Jazz- an American musical art form which originated around the beginning of the 20th century in African American communities in the Southern United States from a confluence of African and European music traditions. The style's West African pedigree is evident in its use of blue notes, call-and-response, improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation, and the swung note of ragtime.
