Jay Smith Email & Phone Number

My drumming influences come from former instructors, Chuck Flores, Michael Cartellone, Glen Sobel the late Jim Chapin. After having the opportunity to attend the P.I.T. program in Los Angeles, California, I put that knowledge to use with the band Trauma (Facedown/Strikefirst Records) on their release Solidarity. I performed on the title tracks of SoCal's KROQ's Kevin and Bean’s albums 'Christmastime In the 909' and ‘'Kevin and Bean‘s Super Christmas'‘. I also was able to play on the 'Kevin and Bean Day' theme song heard on the KROQ morning show. I took over drumming duties for 'Mercy Killers' (with Craig Fairbaugh and Shane Gallagher of +44) on Hellcat Records. More recently, I was able to record with Patricia Day and Henrik Niedermeier of 'The HorrorPops'. I've been able tour direct support with acts such as Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Social Distortion, Rob Halford Band, Blink 182, Green Day, Jimmy Eat World, Agent Orange, August Burns Red, T.S.O.L., Sevendust and more with live performances shown on MTV and MTV 2. Other items include performances shown on Fox Sports, the MTV Documentary “Riding in vans With Boys” and can be seen live on the Facedown Fest DVD. I've performed on the Vans Warpt Tour with ‘Me and the Captain’ and L.A.’'s Fangs on Fur (who recently returned from Europe supporting their latest release). I currently perform in American Idol Finalist "Matt Rogers Band" and with California's Hour Eleven featuring Def Leppard's Phil Collen. I can also be seen and heard on Sundays and Wednesdays at Revival.TV live video podcast reaching the entire world weekly.
