Matt Chamberlain

Matt Chamberlain is an American drummer, producer, and composer recognized for his vast and varied work as a premier session musician. [1, 7] Emerging from an early tenure with Edie Brickell & New Bohemians and a brief period in Pearl Jam, he became one of modern music's most in-demand players. [8, 11, 15] His style is defined by a sophisticated rhythmic sensibility and a pioneering integration of electronic loops, programming, and unconventional percussion.
