Javier Arriaga

I started playing drums at age 5. I have been a Pop, Rock and Metal drummer for over 25 yrs, guitar and drum tech for national acts. Additionally, i am music promoter for my own company Empty Paradise Entertainment for national and international bands. I have been part of several tribute bands like: 333 (Pantera), Metallica, The Pot (Tool) Lamb of God, Rammstein and Sepultura to name a few ,and original bands like (Prog Rock) Random Allusion, Years of Cold (with members from Pissing Razors, Ministry), Hereafter the Wave and currently Soren. Also my work includes session time in the studio and playing drums for Tim Ripper Owens on occasion. My projects have opened to bands like Hellyeah, Fear Factory, Kill Devil Hill, Kyng, Vital Remains, Death Angel, to name a few. This has allowed me to reach hundreds and hundreds of people in my music career. I first came across Soultone through the late Nick Menza’s videos. Liked the sound and i was not disappointed. Love being part of this wonderful family of drummers. Cheers!
