Latest Drum News
Based in New York City, Zoë started drumming when she was 10 years old, performing in jazz bands from middle school through high school. For seven years, each Friday night, she studied with a teacher who taught her the importance of groove and feel above all else and this is central to her philosophy and how she plays today. Her teacher also revered Ringo Starr’s artistry, an admiration she shares – along with Ringo’s preference for Ludwig.
Recently Zoë played drums with Bruce Springsteen for four nights during his special takeover of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. On the last night, she double-drummed with Questlove. Working with The Boss was magical for her, but also the result of hard work, dedication, and discipline.
Aside from playing in Springsteen’s Nightshift band on The Tonight Show, she has played with Mark Ronson, Benson Boone, Oberhofer, Sad13, King Tuff, Sasami, Palehound, Sammus and Caroline Rose. You may have also seen Zoë on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, and the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Over the years, Zoë has learned that the drum community is a tight, supportive and deeply caring part of the music world. She cherishes that and the privilege to contribute to works of art.
