Aaron James Lee

Facebook

An exceptionally talented and committed drummer, Aaron James Lee shares his father Jimmy Lee‘s passion and genius on the drum set. He often trains and jams with Jimmy, so you can be sure if you sign up for drum lessons with Aaron, you’re getting part of Jimmy’s know-how as well. That being said, Aaron is not a copy of his father—far from it. With his own style, versatility and creative ideas, as evident during his exciting performances, Aaron has carved out quite a reputation in the local music scene. Drummer Aaron James Lee has been a part of the local music scene and participated in tours, shows and recordings overseas and locally with bands and acts like The Steve McQueens, Andrew Lim, Ben Paterson, Alex Sipiagin, Jeremy Monteiro, Christy Smith, Tony Lakatos and Tan Wei Xiang. As the learning process continues, he is working as a sideman and also leading his own groups and playing with other wonderful musicians in the local scene for the love of the people and music.
