Ari Hoenig is a jazz drummer, composer, and educator known for his unusual and intense approach to drumming emphasizing complex rhythms in direct harmony with other group members. Ari is widely noted particularly for his drumming not being relegated to just keeping tempo, or being a side issue to the music he plays in, but rather for elevating drumming as an indispensable part of the performance.

 

"Ari Hoenig combines jaw-dropping intensity, phenomenal technique, and visionary perspective, making him a major force in jazz's evolution through the 21st century" (Rick Mason Minneapolis/St Paul City Pages)

 

"From the physical mayhem of Ari Hoenig’s drumming — limbs flailing, face contorted in agonized delight — comes music of unsurpassed depth and control." (David Adler-Philadelphia Weekly)

 

"Ari Hoenig is one of the most maniacally obsessive, spasmodic and musical drummers in jazz." (Jazz Times
“Rhythm is a contact sport for Ari Hoenig” (Nate Chinen, New York Times)
