Jim Benuska Bio
Jim Benuska’s intense passion for music, solid meter and dynamic finesse behind the drums only begins to describe his drumming abilities. Honing his craft over sixteen years the way any dedicated musician would – by playing as often as he could, anywhere he could and with whomever he could – Jim meticulously studied the greats; from Ringo Starr to Buddy Rich, John Bonham and Mitch Mitchell to Dave Grohl and Neil Peart. Through his practice, Jim developed solidity, dependability, and versatility – drumming with the utmost awareness to consistently compliment the song. Fluent in recording to a click, charismatic in energy and the “look” for the live show, ease in laying a groove and sitting tight in the pocket, Jim is truly a well-rounded musician. Currently living in Nashville and ready to take on opportunities anywhere, Jim Benuska is a drummer who will work for you and with you. Whether you’re a songwriter in need of rhythm development for recording or gigging, a label or entertainment agency putting together the backing band, or a group of established musicians looking for a tour fill-in, drum tech or replacement, every job is committed to with equal ambition and dedication to provide an excellent musical experience.
