JP is a true professional! I always enjoy working with him, whether he is on drums or in the producer's chair...and he is a heck of a nice guy!

Junior is talented, professional, organized, and an all around wonderful musician to work with. His experience and ear make him a valuable asset to any gig, and it is always an honor to work with him. His positive attitude and love for his work are always an added bonus. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a top-notch drummer.

Junior was a pleasure to work with on our song “Lucky Enough” that went viral. Junior was very reasonable in his pricing and worked with us diligently on our very pressing time frame. He arranged a string section and even surprised us with rough versions to make sure we loved the arrangements! He was more than happy to go back and forth with ideas until we all loved it. He sent us videos of the Nashville symphony players in the studio during tracking which was nice for our socials and overall excitement! When all was said and done we had a beautiful string section on our song that we will forever cherish! We highly recommend working with Junior!

I've been performing with JP for a few years now on most of our full-band shows. He is always thorough & 100% professional for rehearsal and performance. He is also what we refer to as "a great hang" but he has become a dear friend to all of us. I respect him as a musician but even more so as a person. Recalling our first performance together, he showed up at a moment's notice with no time for a rehearsal and barely enough time to chart our originals, absolutely killing it. Since Junior was still performing with another artist at that time, my guitar player & I talked after the show deciding that "this is 'the guy' every time we can get him" . He is, without a doubt, an asset to any artist or band on both sides of the microphones.

I'm a guitarist who loves to groove yet some drummers bring nothing more than a beat but then there is drummer Junior Padilla.

Junior is an extraordinary drummer and brings it all when he sits behind his drum kit. When Junior arrives to the venue his good vibes and pro attitude fill the place from the moment he walks in and the magic begins from the first note played. He has such groove that you want to just stop playing and feel what he's laying down cause the flavor is bold and strong. His style and uniqueness made my country soul songs feel and sound amazing!

I'm honored to call him a friend and blessed to have shared the stage with him. I look forward to performing with this incredible musician again.

As a producer & session percussionist/drummer I do “remote sessions” quite frequently. When I’m choosing a studio to record at, I look for overall vibe, the personality of the engineer(s), affordability, and tones that the room will produce. I must say that this studio gave me everything that I needed! The vibe was great, the tones were amazing, which made the recording process easy, and my client was ecstatic!! Definitely check it out!!

Junior was super easy to work with and provided me with great drum tones. He had an innovative approach and is knowledgable about a lot of styles that surpassed my expectation. Hire this human!

JP toured with me for six months on a cruise ship throughout Alaska, Mexico, Aruba, Washington and Canada.

Every day was a different situation and he was super professional at whatever situation was thrown his way. He always came prepared to shows and went above and beyond. He’s a phenomenal drummer and musician and the most kind hearted person I know. I highly recommend JP for any of your projects or shows you may have!

I made an excellent choice when I hired Junior Padilla to play percussion for me. He was early, prepared, and brought a great attitude!

I had the pleasure of hiring Junior to record remote drum kit on my vocal jazz arrangement of a Christmas tune. Junior is a fantastic jazz player and played very expressively. The texture of the drum kit brought all of the vocals to life. In addition, he completed the project efficiently. I highly recommend Junior for your future session.

I've worked with Junior in a live setting and he was a welcomed and celebrated addition to my solo gigs. A good man to have in your corner.

Working with JP very professional and great vibe. He knows how to get the sound and tracks you want.

JP is an excellent drummer and percussionist and makes the experience in the studio a very professional and fun experience. He’s extremely talented and a well rounded musician. Highly recommended!

Junior is one of the most talented producers/musicians I know. Anything he touches turns to gold. I had the pleasure of working with him in concert, on stage and in the lab. He understands and gets it! More importantly he gets you as a client, no matter the genre. You tell and show him the vision, he will present you the masterpiece!
