Jack Ivins Music

Testimonials

“Jack is a consummate professional.  He does his homework and he comes prepared. I needed a last-minute sub, and without a rehearsal or much advanced notice, he showed up and played great. On top of that, he is easy to get along with, making the hours in between shows enjoyable and drama-free.” 
-David Cook (Multi-platinum selling artist & American Idol winner) 

"Jack has been my first call to sub gigs for me for the past several years. He can confidently play different styles, from country to pop to metal, and he'll always show up prepared to do a great job."

-Mike Malinin (drummer, Goo Goo Dolls, Tanya Tucker)

“Jack Ivins is BEAST. I coined that expression the first time I saw Jack play. While he is certainly adept, adroit, and precise, he has an energy that is totally infectious. He is assertive and authoritative and is a great showman as well as an accomplished studio pro. In my experience I’ve only met a few drummers that are equally skilled at live and studio. Any further questions please don’t hesitate to reach out and hurry up and hire him before I do again. Cheers.”
-Michael Caplan (former SVP/A&R, Columbia, SONY, EPIC)

"Jack is not only a great guy but he will work tirelessly with you to make your project the best version of your vision that it can be." 
-Rocky Gallo (engineer/producer: Cigarettes After Sex, John Legend, Gavin DeGraw, Tycho, Andrew Bird)

"Jack is a musician's drummer. Whether it's a big rock song or sensitive ballad, Jack is always thinking about the artist and the song and what he can add without stepping into the spotlight."
-John Morand (engineer/producer: D'Angelo, Lamb of God, Cracker, Sparklehorse)

"Jack is both a highly skilled and tasteful drummer and also extremely captivating to watch. His professional ability to be able to adapt his playing style to any genre or sound lends him to be a true one of a kind drummer"
-Austin Bello (bassist/producer, Forever the Sickest Kids)
