Drummer and producer Destin Johnson talks with us about what's behind his ability to weave acoustic and electronic sounds together seamlessly, his love for the Roland SPD-SX, and the power of making music that captivates.
Having landed a gig at SNL performing with Chance The Rapper shortly after arriving in NYC from South Florida, this rising star in the drum world has a very adept way of fusing simple drum patterns with intricate synth sounds. Watch as he shares how growing up in a musical family inspired him to make music, gives us a tour of his set-up, and shares a little bit of music with us including "Callingallcars" from a band he recently started with friends, da22.
