Samson Jatto

Mahalia, NAO

Musician Samson Jattos instinctive ability to know whats right for a song has made him the first point of call for many record labels, managers and music producers. His experience spans over two decades, having been introduced to the drums in 2001. Samson spent the first decade refining his craft and building a name for himself within the entertainment world. During this time he worked and built relationships with artists, bands and theatres from a spectrum of genres and styles.

By 2010, Samson was touring with Maverick Sabre. This lead to primetime radio and television performances (Jools Holland, Comic relief, BBC 1Xtra, Maida Vale Sessions), major festivals and world tours. The following year, Samson and longtime collaborator Joe Newman developed a solo project titled Parallel; their online presence and performances led to touring with Jessie Ware for her first 2 albums. Other high-profile artists include: Kwabs, Rebecca Ferguson, Will Young and James Arthur. Every tour and recording session has allowed Samson to keep developing and refining his skill set. Nowadays Samson Jatto is listed alongside many of the UKs top drummers. He is currently playing for Mahalia and Grammy-nominated NAO. When Samson is not on tour he is programming and recording drums from his studio.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    My peers inspire me the most. Just seeing old and new talent around me constantly pushing themselves keeps me honest and on my toes.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Listen to music and if possible, listen closer to what the other instruments are playing/not playing besides just what the drums are doing.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    Can I mention the Constantinople Hi hats again? I'm currently digging those with a 14" EFX cymbal stacked in between.
