Chris Whitaker

Chris started playing drums when he was 8 years old. He took to the drums pretty quickly. In junior high and high school he played in percussion ensembles. He attends college where he has taken Music courses, Live Entertainment Technology courses and also has played in the Symphonic band there. He plays drums for many church worship bands and also plays in local bands all around town. He does session work for various artists in Houston and surrounding areas. Chris is very particular about his drum kit and cymbals. He has learned how to tune and adjust his kit to get the particular sound he wants to achieve. Because he has learned this skill so well, Chris also tunes drums for local studios.
Some of the drummers that have inspired him include Bernard Purdy, Steve Jordan, Mark Simmons, and John Fontenot. Some of the musicians he loves are Stevie Wonder, John Mayer Trio, BB King and many others. He is inspired by and loves to play Jazz, Blues, Funk, and Rhythm & Soul genres.
