Teddy Swims

My name is Avante and Ive been playing the drums since I was 2 years old. It started for me with my uncle playing the drums with me in his lap at just 2 years old and growing up, I always wanted to play while he was up there. I was the kid who always had to play after church! From there on, I began to listen and watch more and study as I grew up and that allowed me to play for artists like Jonathan and Jason Nelson at a young age. As I grew up, more artists began to become a part of my journey in playing, artists like Canton Jones, Jhonni Blaze, Mykko Montana, The Love Renaissance Label and The Zac Brown Band. Teddy Swims all became a part of my growth and God blessed me to travel the world doing what I love to do professionally for many other artists!

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    What inspires me is the generation coming up. There are so many kids that are so hungry just like I was at 6 or 7 years old and their passion and love for music at such a young age is so rare coming up nowadays - it is truly amazing. It makes me feel like I’m still a kid again. I’m also inspired by some really dope older musicians too! Dennis Chambers, Ronald Bruner, Dave Weckle, Mike Mitchell, Devon Taylor.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Stay hungry and don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. If you have the faith and the work ethic, you get up and you go and attack the world and look it dead in the eyes as you get everything you work for in your life! Stay humble, stay strong and don’t give up!

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    The Oriental China combined with the EFX is amazing. It doesn’t matter what size it is as long as the top and the bottom are the same size they’ll sound amazing. I find that to be awesome! My favorite cymbal would probably be the Sweet K right now.
