I'm a professional drummer living in Portland, OR. I've played with many bands over the years, most notably, Francis and the Lights. These days I'm working actively and often in the fertile Portland jazz scene. I'm well versed in the styles of Rock, Jazz, R&B, Hip-Hop, Latin, Reggae and more. I'm very comfortable reading music. I have my own transportation and always arrive on time. Looking forward to working with you!
Meeting Max, a skilled percussionist with a patient and kind approach, was a pleasure. His diverse teaching methods and techniques made the session enjoyable for both my son and me. I gained valuable knowledge on how to enhance my son's percussion skills and develop a deeper understanding of the unique qualities each percussionist brings to their craft.
Response from Max Tucker:
Thanks so much Cynthia! It was a pleasure meeting and working with you guys 😊
Max played the cajon for me as part of a three piece band. He did a fantastic job. We had 2 very short rehearsals and then he nailed it at the live event. Highly recommend him and will hire him again myself.
Response from Max Tucker:
Thanks Travis– I had a blast on the gig and look forward to working with you again!
Price Range: $100 and up
Clear and supportive drumming. I like to give everyone in the band enough space to form their own thoughts while still giving a constant warm blanket of support. Every musical situation is different so I try to listen as hard as possible while still asserting myself with an undying reverie to the beat.
