We’re not alone when we say Swiss Chris is one of the most awe-inspiring percussive performers out there. He’s a consummate rhythmist, a dedicated innovator, and a worldwide ambassador of drumming showmanship. It’s certainly no coincidence that he’s one of the most sought-after and popular drummers in the world. Swiss, of course, is internationally renowned for his extensive work as drummer and musical director for 5-time Grammy Winner John Legend, as well as his various NYC solo projects and session work.

 

Swiss Chris is a Vic Firth artist, but also packs his Hiptrix for situations that call for added visual kick. His resume speaks for itself, with television appearances including The VMAs, The Soul Train Music Awards, The Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony at Oslo, The View, Letterman, Kimmel, Ellen, Leno, Tyra, Conan, Oprah, Good Morning America, The MTV Music Awards Japan, VH1, Grammy appearances in the US and Europe, MTV Africa, and more. He’s also performed with hip-hop heavyweights like Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Slick Rick, and Mos Def, was house drummer and musical director for the legendary Lyricist’s Lounge, is a Berklee School of Music Alumnus, and endorses in-demand gear from companies like Yamaha and Sabian. To learn more about Swiss Chris, including his non-profit S.W.I.S.S.
