Ulysses Owens Jr.

Independent

Heralded as a œpowerhouse of a showman (Glide Magazine), a œlegitimate jazz triple threat (Critical Jazz) and a drummer who œtake[s] a back seat to no one (The New York Times), performer, producer and educator Ulysses Owens Jr. goes the limit in the jazz world and beyond.

Ulysses remains consistently in demand for new projects as an Artist, Producer, and Educator, remaining one of the most sought-after drummers and thought leaders of his generation. Yet what matters to him consistently is giving back and continuing to be grateful for a new day, to make a difference in the lives of others.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    I am constantly inspired by new music, by life which is always changing and forcing me to be flexible and constantly evolve.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Stay humble, truly seek to master your craft, and be kind to people, and the law of attraction will work beautifully in your direction and favor.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I love the Avedis Series, and I feel it's such a regal set of cymbals. Any of them are great as part of a setup.
