The Rhythmic Sensationalist Known As JT-Smooth...
JT-Smooth is an Orlando-based, Kansas City-raised drummer whose talent stemmed from regular services at his father's church. Joining up with a jazz/R&B group in Kansas City, JT was able to express his musical talent throughout the city. Recently relocating to Orlando, FL, JT has worked as a full-time drummer since his arrival and has yet to pause. His musical opportunities were multiple, which led him to meeting up with John Toney and forming the JazzTastings Quartet. JT's musical style of creating a live music EXPERIENCE, rather than just banging on the drums, sets him apart from other local musicians. Groomed to be a firm example of what it means to FEEL the music being played, JT has an aggressive approach to the way he plays the drums. Being able to feel the kick drum in your chest, whisper with the high hat, and snap with the sharp raps of the snare are important factors to his talent. Known as a quite exceptional pocket drummer, JT-Smooth is able to keep the correct feel of a song while still adding his own style to the groove. Rhythm is something JT-Smooth is quite familiar with; sharing it with his audience and fellow musicians is his passion.
