About

I’m Adrian Saunders, a drummer based in Austin, Texas, with over 10 years of experience behind the kit. I’ve always been driven by curiosity and groove, which has led me to play across a wide range of styles all the way from Jazz to Alt Rock. That versatility is a big part of how I work, and it helps me adapt quickly to whatever a project or artist needs.

I perform regularly in the indie rock trio Slidepile (EP available on Spotify) and have played with several other bands across Austin, San Marcos, and San Antonio. My playing is influenced by drummers like Nate Smith and Perrin Moss, but my focus is always on serving the music while bringing my own feel, groove, and energy to every song.

I’m available for session work, fill-in gigs, live shows, and tours. I pride myself on being prepared, easy to work with, and fully committed to delivering whatever the music calls for.
