SEEKING

ABOUT

My name is Jeff Shelton and I have been drumming since I was 7 years old. I took formal lessons, learned many styles and genres, and even played in my percussion ensemble in high school. I was most recently in a band named "Stoic Nai" which means full of emotion. We recorded 2 full original albums, made 3 music videos, and played many shows. We were able to mix pop, rock, blues, punk, classic rock, and sometimes (because we were friends with rappers) hip-hop. Throughout my drumming career, I have been very eclectic in styles that I learn.
