Ari Hoenig

Ari Hoenig is an American jazz drummer. His music uses unusual rhythmic textures, inventive themes and rich harmonies. He tirelessly explores not only the rhythmic but also the melodic possibilities of his instrument. In addition to "timing", he is also known for his unique ability to adjust the pitch of the drum sound using mallets or his hands and elbows. Using this technique, he can play any note in the chromatic scale, virtually any melody, and even improvise on a chord structure in the same manner as any other instrumentalist.
