Jeff Schiller

About Me

Drummer, percussionist, zendrummer, writer, arranger, Pilot, RN, Air Force Officer, and a strong advocate for health and fitness. Jeff is a member of the AFM and the Vic Firth Education Team. His personal resume and story is on his website - there's much more than just music there, Jeff's goal is to help spread the word that music can change lives and influence the world we all live in. Please check out "www.drummer808.com" for more about the bands Jeff works with and for booking information! ~~~~~~~Look no further!! With military band and Walt Disney World experience, I'm a professional drummer with the right skills and the right attitude to back you or your group up - now available for all professional gigs. From rock and pop to swing, R&B to soul, country to classical, funk to world percussion, I have years of experience on the road (literally all over the world), in the studio, corporate and convention work, private parties and local venues. Available for tours, studio work, "one-nighters," drum chart creation/copyist, professional consulting, and intermediate to advanced drum/percussion instruction. As a professional musician with the AFM, Central Florida Musicians Association, local 389, I read well, have great time, a great ear, and play very well with others :) I'm a very fast learner, and I am "click-track friendly!" I thank the Lord everyday for the talent He's given me, and the ability to share it with others is what I like to do the most. If you're a manager, producer, professional singer, or band that is tired of finding drummers who can't play the gig, can't cut it in the studio, or you just need a drummer to fill in for one to two nights or complete a short tour, you've found the drummer for you! Don't hesitate to contact me, I'll be there for you!! ~~~~~~~
