Tim Jackson - Session Drummer

I consider myself a play-for-the–song style of drummer. Consistency is the key to me.

– Tim Jackson

Tim Jackson started playing drums in 1988. Formal training came from a combination of private lessons and high school music programs. The bulk of his experience was earned from regularly playing gigs starting in 1994. He began studio work in 1996, and his first sessions were with the great Paul Lapinski. Tim is credited as the drummer on over 10 recording projects (about 100 songs).

Over the past 15 years, Tim has been one of my favorite drummers to record.

– Paul Lapinski

Why do so many artists hire Tim as a session drummer?

• He locks in with a click track without losing the groove.
• He has fantastic consistency with drum velocity. The result is a professional sound without time consuming post-production editing.
• He reads music and drum charts.
• His ability to play other instruments helps him quickly understand song form/structure.
• With over 50 recording sessions (at least 20 of those with Paul Lapinski) and more than 1,000 live gigs under his belt, his experience makes him one of the best session drummers in the region.
• His uncanny ability to mimic Paul Lapinski's voice.

Tim Jackson is one of the most consistent drummers I have ever worked
with. He works quickly and gets it right. He has a unique ability of
musically complimenting other musicians to make them sound their very best.
