Jarvis 'Jeb' Barnes

Tate McRae

Born and raised in Dover, Delaware. Grew up loving music and how different genres of music could and would alter how I felt. I immediately became infatuated with bebop and big band music. I attended Berklee college of music in Boston,MA where I learned the basics of playing R&B & Pop Music.

After leaving Berklee, I spent some time in Philadelphia, PA then shifted to Los Angeles, CA. Moving to LA was the best thing I could have done for my career and skills. It forced me outside my comfort zone pushed me to become a better musician, drummer, and person.

I've had the privilege of playing with some iconic artist, work with some of my favorite musicians and most important meet some of my best friends.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

One of my most memorable moments is playing for Jordin Sparks at the Colts Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Playing some of the most iconic songs of our time in a stadium was one of the most magical moments for sure!
WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

My friends! My friends are genius'. They push me to be better in so many ways. Personally, I never want to be the weak link in my friend group so I try to stay up on my skills. I never want them to hesitate to call me as friend and colleague. I also want to be able to add value to all rooms I'm invited to be in musically.
FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

Vic Firth is the stick i've always played! Ive been able to find a comfortable, reliable stick to match all genres throughout my career. From playing Jazz, pop, rock, musicals there's a stick that feels great and matches the intensity I need to play with.
