Kevin Maltes l Pro Drummer & Guitarist

For the audience, I’m a high energy drummer or guitar player that’s always going to bring some fun to the performance! I have good stage presence and am not afraid to get down with the crowd! I like connecting with the people who came to hear us, and I want to make sure they have a good experience.

For the client, I’m going to be on-time, presentable, put together, and I’m going to know my stuff! Whether I know the music already or it’s all new to me, I really take my practice seriously, and will come prepared to any gig or opportunity, regardless of the size or pay. I want to give you my best, and when I’m in a back up role for a solo artist or something like that, I want to make sure the main performer is the highlight of the show, and that I’m ultimately making everything easy for them!

My name’s Kevin, and I’m an experienced, gigging musician here in the greater LA area of So-Cal. I started playing drums and guitar in church about 12 years ago, and have yet to stop! Church is where I cut my teeth, from a young age I was getting hired to play all kinds of Sunday services and worship gatherings of all types and denominations. I’m very familiar with CCM, and have extensive background playing to a click and backing track, and using a lot of the technology that has become commonplace in churches, such as in ear monitors or planning center.

From church I began branching out into other gigging opportunities, and have played a lot of cool shows and sat in on a lot of cool recordings over the years. I’ve tended to lean more towards playing harder “rock” or indie type music, but I’ve played hundreds of different genres, and with some world class musicians.

I’m very flexible and always looking for new challenges!

I’m not very needy! I have all my own gear, or am cool with using some kind of back line if provided. Just need an area to set up a kit or stand with my guitar, and I will work with whatever kind of situation is presented concerning sound and stage set up.
