ABOUT

My name is Justin Sova. I am currently 18 years old and I have been playing Drum Set, Hand percussion, mallet percussion, etc. for about 9 years now. I have a few years of experience playing semi-professionally on the local scene with my former band "At the Zoo" , in the GAP productions pit orchestra, and various other groups at different times. I have had the honor of sharing the stage with many local bands and have received very good criticism from these various groups. I love playing my instrument(s) and I would really love to begin playing professionally. I now have a relatively flexible schedule and I can commit to most groups. Contact me for more info about who I've played with, recordings/videos of me playing, and any general interest in me.
