About the drummer

Steve Jordan is a world-renowned session drummer and producer, famous for his work with the John Mayer Trio and the Rolling Stones. He is widely considered a "master of the groove" and a primary influence for students in advanced drum lessons. His career is a masterclass in how to play with maximum feel and minimum clutter.

Drummer style

His style is defined by a deep, immovable pocket and a very "dry," articulate snare sound. Playing drums like Jordan requires incredible focus on the relationship between the kick, snare, and hi-hat. His grooves are among the most studied by those learning drums and are favorites for high-level drum covers.
