Adam Deitch

When Adam Deitch is the drummer on any given project or record, you know what you're going to get: solid time, funky driving beats, creative fills, and just a great sound from the drums. The drums are always in the forefront of any song Adam plays on, though he's never a distraction from the rest of the music. Having attended Berklee, his playing is heavily rooted in funk and r&b with a jazz mentality. He's the drummer for Lettuce and The John Scofield Band, and has also played with Average White Band, Ledisi, Raphael Saadiq, Eric Krasno, and many more. Adam's playing is very active and conversational. His breakbeats are unbelieveable. He has also produced for many hip-hop artists, such as Talib Kweli, Jurassic 5, 50 Cent, and Snoop Dogg. Currently, Adam has put out recent records with Lettuce and Ledisi and is performing with the Eric Krasno (guitarist for Soulive) led band Chapter 2 as well as his own band called Break Science. He is also on the associate faculty at the New School in New York City.
