About

JD Lenick is an American drummer based in Nashville, TN. Born and raised in Westminster, MD, he began playing drums in church and high school band. In 2015, he moved to Minneapolis, MN. After five years of what he considers his “music education” from the deep local scene of artists and players there, he and his wife relocated to Nashville, TN where they currently reside.

“JD is a consummate professional. He approaches every gig with intention and vibrant musicality, which brings a special dynamic to every artist he plays for. He has a deep pocket and tasteful playing style that make him a joy to work with.”
