Keith "Stix" McJimson
(@Stixthedrummer) is the touring drummer for Ariana Grande and as a result, has toured the world playing some of the largest stages imaginable. His backbeats have been felt on just about every TV show that features guest performances. He has shared the stage with several top artists, including; Justin Bieber, Big Sean, Iggy Azalea and more.
Today we're excited to unravel more of Stix's perspectives on the drums, living in LA, seizing opportunity and finding your groove. He's going to talk about landing the Ariana gig and being a part of her rise to the top. He's also going to share a little about his new book, soon to be released.
Finding Your Groove
Stix doesn't just live in LA, he grew up in LA. As a Cali native, Stix offers a great perspective on what it's like to grow up, network, and find opportunity in the suburbs. As we delve deep into this interview, you'll quickly be able to tell how warm Stix is as a person and yet, how professional and intentional he is with his friendships and work.
In this episode of the 180 Drums Podcast we ask Stix about his:
- Experience and Expertise on the World Stage
- New Book
- Drum & Cymbal Specs
- Practice Routine
- Life on the Road
- Influences
- Close call to becoming a Police Officer
- Perspectives on Networking
- Plans for the Future
