Dylan Wissing
Session Drummer (Alicia Keys | John Legend | Drake)
Dylan Wissing is a drummer based in Hoboken, New Jersey, who has recorded for such artists as John Legend, Drake, Kanye West, Jay-Z and Eminem. He is best known as the drummer on Alicia Keys’ Grammy award-winning hit, “Girl on Fire,” and is heard in national ads for AT&T, American Airlines, Valvoline, Behr Paints, and Banana Republic.
Wissing was featured in the New York Times, as well as Modern Drummer and DRUM! magazines. He appears with Yvette Nicole Brown on the Disney+ show “The Big Fib.” His drum loop and sample packs for companies such as Native Instruments, Yurt Rock, Cymatics, Soundtrap, and Patchbanks feature a wide range of styles, from ‘50s R&B and ‘60s Pop, funky ‘70s breakbeats and Disco, up through modern Pop and Hip Hop.
Dylan has been recording remote drum tracks since the early days of that being a thing. He maintains a busy performing schedule with a wide range of groups around NYC, and teaches the art of recording and session drumming at his website, Creating the Sound.
"These drums sound relentlessly good, on the stage or in the studio - I'm in! WTS has built a better mousetrap, and I see/hear the future of acoustic drums when I play these amazing instruments."
