John JR Robinson - The Most Recorded Drummer In History


If you've been existing for the past thirty years, you've definitely heard John JR Robinson play even if you have no clue about who he is. That's the thing about being a drummer. Drummers are often the unsung heroes in a band even if they give their own blood and sweat just to be able to play their music. John JR Robinson is probably the most recorded drummer in history to date, and deservingly so.



Robinson Was Discovered By Rufus And Chaka Khan


John JR Robinson was born on December 29, 1954 in Creston, Iowa. He started playing drums at the age of 8 though he also played piano and guitar earlier. Robinson became a music teacher at the age of 12 and attended college in Berkley College of Music in Boston.

Some of the music acts that he counts as huge influences in his life are the Beatles, Dave Clark Five, and Jimi Hendrix. In 1978, he was discovered by Rufus and Chaka Khan while he was touring with his band. He then moved from Boston to Los Angeles where he was introduced to American record producer and musician Quincy Jones. These big-time associations that he got from his struggles brought him to a lot of music heavyweights such as Barbara Streisand and Eric Clapton.



Drummer On Countless Of Hits And Musical Scores


When Robinson set the musical foundation of the much-loved charity anthem "We Are The World", producer Quincy Jones knew that they were about to set a massive global influence. In 2005, Robinson was inducted into the Iowa Rock 'n Roll Music Association Hall of Fame where he was touted as the most recorded drummer in history. The Grammy winning artist also released two solo albums: Funkshui in 2004 and Platinum in 2007.

For the past years, he has contributed to countless of hits and musical scores in movies and the music industry. He was responsible for drumming up Michael Jackson's famous upbeat dance tunes during the 80s and the 90s, as well as Whitney Houston's and Celine Dion's astounding ballads. He also played for legendary rocker Alice Cooper.

If you're a fan of musical scorings in movies, you probably enjoyed listening to John JR Robinson's heart pounding beats for epic motion pictures Pirates of the Caribbean and Prince of Egypt. One of his recent associates are the helmet-wearing robots of Daft Punk for their Grammy-winning album, Random Access Memories. Just reading this impressive list of Robinson's discography makes it easier to understand why people from the industry say that John JR Robinson is probably the most recorded drummer in history.



Sound, Efficiency And Excellent Sense Of Time

Despite performing for most of the industry's celebrated music acts, John JR Robinson still remains as one of the most underrated drummers out there. His perfect tempo and timing when it comes to playing drums always hit home. John JR Robinson, according to most music experts, got the sound, efficiency and excellent sense of time that help in creating an amazing music.

When asked in an interview what he thinks makes a great musician, Robinson said that a great musician is someone who understands and feels within his heart the music that they're playing. He also said that you have to believe in your music in order to get something out of it.
