Leif Wagner began his musical career as a classically trained concert percussionist. Throughout his career and in addition to his primary focus of being part of an original music project, he has also served as a private music instructor and freelance recording and performance artist.

Leif has had the opportunity in his career to open for such national acts as: Quiet Riot, Presidents of The United States of America, Gruntruck, The Healing Sixes (Jason Bonham), Loaded, Michael Wilton (Queensryche), Buckcherry, Halestorm, Rehab, Sevendust, Saving Abel, Local H, Helmet, Filter, Tea Party, Tantric, Red, Powerman 5000, Eddie Trunk (That Metal Show), Skid Row, Hells Belles, Puddle of Mudd and Everclear.

His refined application of cadence and rhythm and attention to tempo and time, brings a solid and familiar feel to his performance. He continues to experiment with new and progressive patterns to serve as the connection between all the musical elements of his projects.

Currently, Leif is the long standing and founding member of the rock band Jaded Mary. He is responsible for their graphic arts and shares the co-writing and co-producing duties with his bandmates.

Leif’s taste in cymbals has been eclectic to say the least. Always searching for the right note, effect or tone to match the needs of the song. Having the support of a company such as Soultone allows him access to their extensive product catalogue. Professional and unmatched products that can literally suit and serve any project or performance needed.

Smash, bash or Crash; Soultone Cymbals has the right cymbal for the job.
