About Me

Hi! Thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Landon Wing, and I'm a drummer- have been for 25+ years! Fortunately for me, I was one of those lucky kids whose parents acknowledged the desire and never complained about all that "loud noise!"

In my 25+ years of drumming, I have been blessed with the opportunity to open for bands such as "Ever Stays Red," "Everyday Sunday," and "Joe Diffie." Most recently, it was my pleasure to have played for and sat-in with country greats Steve White and Eugene Moles at the 3rd Annual Bakersfield Country Music Awards.

If you notice the genre of music in my player, they're ALL Christian artists. In my college years, churches were a readily available venue in which I could perform. Make no mistake. I'll play drums for almost ANYTHING or ANYONE, because I love to perform. I'm available for gigs, session work, lessons, drum tune-ups, and jam sessions. In no particular order, I specialize in Top 40 Country, Classic Country, Contemporary Christian music, and Rock. If your genre is not listed above, have no fear. I am still a very capable and confident musician, so feel fee to give me a shot!

I should also mention that I am a graduate of California State University Fresno, having received a Bachelor's of Science degree in Marketing. That being said, I know a thing or two about event promotions, which often makes me useful both on-stage and off. For booking information, please review my schedule on myspace. If available, please contact me either by email: [email protected] or through myspace. Please be sure to include your phone number as well. I look forward to hearing from you!


My equipment includes a DW Broken Glass Finish 4 piece Maple drum set and DW 9000 series hardware topped off with Paiste Signature and Sound Formula cymbals. If smaller venues are your specialty, I can accommodate them with alternate/smaller-sized DW drums. They sound GREAT and are perfect for those who perform in acoustic venues!
