Description

Over 4,500,000 streams on Spotify, 100s of diverse shows under his belt, and a rhythmic palette worthy of resting
any evening upon – Jordan Bassett is a consummate professional, ready to help you take your event to the next
level.
Versatility & adaptability. 2 hallmarks of the employable musician. Grounded by a wealth of varied experiences,
Jordan has the vocabulary and the understanding to serve his role in any musical setting, providing a bedrock for the
music to thrive & keep audiences entertained.
A legacy of muscle memory that extends through Jazz, Afro Cuban, Afrobeat, ... Funk & Soul, Disco, Pop, Neo-Soul,
Rock, Indie, Punk, Reggae, Drum n’ Bass & more-modernised beat-based improvisation informs his playing.
His infectious groove has served as a backdrop for Weddings & Events, Moonlit Dubai Evenings, the Streets/ Bars of
London & even Upmarket Antique Fairs.
He’s very much a favourite among attentive audiences who come to truly listen. Theatre Shows, Festivals, intimate
open mics & energy informed Improvisations are all settings Jordan has found himself at home. Not to mention the
host of live performances with his own projects and a wide variety of artists & songwriters.
He has experience playing live with & without a click, under musical direction, as a leader, from charts & from
memory. Pure improvisation informed by the present moment too.
Jordan is a proficient reader and calmly familiar with high pressure scenarios. He confidently infuses his natural
creativity & feel into the hard requirements of the ensemble.
I am very passionate about music. I am very passionate about musicians. I would love to work with you.

Jordan Bassett - Drummer - South East Event Location: Scotland Event Type: Private Drum Lessons 15th September 2015

"Jordan Bassett is one of the most hard-working students I've ever taught. When provided with concepts and ideas, he does not simply work on them until he can correctly play them. He uses them as fuel to feed a passionate exploration into a whole new setting, committing to developing a versatile vocabulary in all settings of music. Not to mention, he's an honest and genuine person."

Jordan Bassett - Drum Teacher - South East Event Location: London Event Type: Private Drum Lessons 1st June 2022

My son has been learning with Jordan for over 1.5 years. We even managed remote learning through lockdown. Jordan is patient and creative and definitely a role model for my teen. No 2 lessons the same, my son always leaves the lesson fizzing with enthusiasm. He now feels confident in his abilities to want to participate in a band in the future. Can highly recommend Jordan for absolute beginners or those who are self-taught and want some pointers.
