Without the drummer, there is no Rock n' Roll...

About me

My name is Joe Ospalla, a live and studio drummer, drum teacher and all round recording and production dude!

Based in North West London, I am available for gigs and recording sessions.

  • Drummer

  • Drum Teacher

  • Engineer

  • Producer.

  • Studio Troubleshooter

  • Audio Production Coach

My goal is to understand my customer's needs and tailor my services to their individual requirements.

My musical taste is varied. First and foremost I am a rock n' roller (watever that means) and love American music from Muddy Waters to Chuck Berry, Creedence to The Band. I am very very into Drive By Truckers, Steve Earle, Gillian Welch, The Dixie Chicks et al.

I love Bruce Springsteen, Frank Zappa, Little Feat, Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus, Beatles & Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Ian Dury & The Blockheads, Tom Petty, Free, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, John Coltrane, Red Hot Chili Peppers, (you get the picture...).
