Growing up in San Antonio and Austin, TX, JJ Johnson has built a tremendous reputation as a masterful drummer with his polyrhythmic grooves and pin-dropping dynamics coupled with his thunderous power and intensity.

He has backed some of music’s most talented artists such as Tedeschi-Trucks Band, John Mayer, Gary Clark Jr., Lenny Kravitz, Sugarland, Doyle Bramhall II, Boz Scaggs and many others.

He is currently with Gary Clark Jr.

JJ is endorsed by Ludwig Drums, Istanbul Agop cymbals, Vic Firth sticks, Remo drumheads and DW Hardware.
