how it all began

my story

What's up everyone! My name is Jordan Cannata and my drumming story began when I was about 5 years old. My dad gave my brother and I his music collection and a little stereo for our bedroom. The collection consisted of pretty much every rock sub-genre ranging from the 60's to the early 90's. We became obsessed. From that moment on, we absorbed as much music as we could and started to find new music on our own. At the age of 8, my parents bought me my first drum set and I have been hitting things ever since.

My brother and I started our band J.Rad together only a couple years later and cut our teeth in the New York music scene playing in bars and clubs (my first bar gig was at the age of 11). Throughout the years we had the pleasure of sharing the stage with artists such as Mountain, Skid Row, Vince Neil, Brett Michaels, Twisted Sister, Filter, and many more.

into the

present

Since then I have had the pleasure of performing and/or recording with many artists and bands including Ace Frehley, Adrenaline Mob, Tokyo Motor Fist, Billy Gibbons, George Lynch, Sugarmore, and Doro to name a few. Currently, I am touring with the multi-platinum selling band Slaughter. I spend my time touring/performing, doing recording sessions, and teaching. Drums are my life and I truly love getting to share that passion with the world. If you are interested in working with me for gigs, recordings, or lessons, click the button below. I look forward to hearing from you!
