Hey! My Name is Jamie Eblen and I have been playing the drums since I was five years old. I was blessed to be born into a drum obsessed family and I'm lucky to continue the legacy. I am originally from LA, but I've been based in NYC for the last 10 years working with incredible songwriters such as Jason Robert Brown, Pasek and Paul, Camille Trust and Mike Tedesco. I love getting to create sounds for records, live shows and theater productions. Over the last six years I have originated three Broadway drum books; Honeymoon in Vegas, Prince of Broadway and Dear Evan Hansen. That work along with building soundscapes for new shows and collaborating on grooves, feels and arrangements keeps me inspired and pushing forward!

Most memorable Next-Level Performance
I remember playing in a busy outdoor plaza in Brooklyn and taking a drum solo where I got everyone clapping a specific sequence. It all happened non-verbally and felt so natural, like we were all just having a conversation. It was years and years ago, but I'll never forget it. I felt like there was a little something extra in that performance. -
What Drives Your Creativity?
Finding a great album and obsessing over it, seeing friend's shows that blow my mind, supporting interesting and provocative art, discovering new acoustic or electronic sounds, new gear, fresh Vics and the power of music! -
Why do you choose Vic Firth?
I choose Vic Firth because their sticks feel like an extension of my hands, I know what I'm getting and I know it's going to sound great. Their consistency is unmatched.
