MCKAY 'SPARTACUS' JOHNSON
Professional Drummer
I'm McKay (aka Spartacus) - welcome to my website! Having played on hundreds of records and live shows with dozens of artists in all different genres, I'm your go-to for any and all recording or live performance needs when it comes to the drums. I'm also passionate about passing on my extensive knowledge and skill at the percussive arts, so I teach private lessons to students of all skill levels and backgrounds. Shoot me a note in the contact form for recording sessions, gigs, lessons etc. and let's get started!
MY WORK
Music Portfolio
In addition to being a seasoned and sought-after live performer, I've also laid down the drums on hundreds of recordings of various genres from multiple accomplished artists. Punk, jazz, metal, pop, funk, hip hop... You name it, and I've probably played it! There are several samples of recordings that I played the drums for on the 'music' page. If you want high quality, professional drums for your next song or album, you've come to the right place. Not only do I have a unique and powerful voice on the instrument which many artists have said truly enhanced their songs - I always strive to do what's best for the song to make your product shine as bright as possible in an ocean of new music! Whether that means playing the simplest beat possible with metronomic precision or throwing down sizzling fills and solos - you've got it!
