About the drummer

Greg Kurstin and Jesse Shatkin are world-class producers and songwriters responsible for some of the biggest hits in modern pop. On Sia's "Chandelier," they handled the drum programming to create an atmospheric and powerful rhythmic foundation. Their work represents the peak of modern digital percussion production.

Drummer style

The programming style here focuses on dramatic build-ups and a massive, echoing snare sound that defines modern pop anthems. While it is programmed, playing drums to these tracks is a great exercise in matching machine-like precision. It’s a popular choice for hybrid drum covers that mix acoustic kits with electronic triggers.
