Hear me drum on CBS or see me perform at Bonaroo. You won’t just get drum tracks when we work together; you will get my heart, soul, and passion to work hard and create the best music possible. My intention is to elevate and capture the energy/vibe/sound/groove of your music. My goal is for us to have a great time while serving your song's vision.

Hi, I'm Chris Potocik, and I am a session/performing drummer, songwriter, engineer, and producer based out of Knoxville, TN. I play(ed) drums for a wide spectrum of artists and bands including Jackie Lee, Rachel Holder, CBDB, Backup Planet, Matt Leadbetter, The Young Fables, Fairview Union, Janelle Arthur, Monet Maddux, Sonic Fuel, Johno Clayton, KissYourGhost, Homer Hart, and many more. I've worked with various producers/engineers including Wilbur Rhymes, Chuck Howard, Carson Chamberlain, Jason Elgin, Todd Divel, Andrew Troubadour, Chris Utley, Lewell Molen, Miah Lajeuness, and more. My drumming can be heard on CBS, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, and have also been featured in commercials. I also endorse Parton Drumworks and Coopergroove Performance Drum Sticks.

I've been recording music for nearly 20 years. I grew up a rocker and will always be one, but I also love playing pop, country, Funk, R&B, Folk-Americana, Gospel, Blues, and more. In addition to live drum tracks, I can also program drums/other instruments as well. One of my roles I've taken on in creative/original bands is co-writing and composing; I can also help you finish your song if you would like an extra pair of ears and ideas. Feel free to hit me up anytime! I'd love to talk with you about your music and goals.
