I'm an American drummer, composer, and educator based in New York. I've recorded and performed with a wide range of artists and have toured nationally and internationally for over a decade.
I regularly sub for artists/bands/productions seeking drummers/percussionist/multi-instrumentalists, I produce and perform on records, drum for National and International-based groups, compose music for film and television, and teach drums/percussion/music theory.
I've played everywhere from a 10,000 capacity bull fighting arena in Spain, one of Paris's most beloved television programs, Radio City Music Hall, and even in the parks and subways of New York City.
On a set without Max’s drumming skills, it wouldn’t have been as Fun. He has really put in work in drumming and it shows! Was nice working !
Max Yassky is a musician's musician. I look forward to working with him again. He was 100%!
Max did a show for us back in July, 21 in an emergency. Our drummer fell sick and Max not only learned our original music within days, but performed excellently. Max is a humble and talented drummer and I highly recommend him.
Response from Max Yassky Music:
Thank you so much George! It was a pleasure to perform live with you, as well as Don and Stew. Y’all have an exciting and unique energy. I’m gratefulI I was able to lend my talents to your creativity and passion. Wish you all tons of luck on every future endeavor. Cheers!
