Joe Farnsworth is one of these. Mr Farnsworth's ability as a drummer is near to being absolutely perfect, and with a talent like that, one's ability is not always relegated to one area of expression." --Benny Golson "I have Joseph Farnsworth on drums, a great person and a great player." --Pharaoh Sanders, Jazz Times Smoke Jazz & Supper Club : The New Drum Battle TimeOut: The New Drum Battle: Joe Farnsworth vs. Kenny Washington The New Yorker: The New Drum Battle Rome, Italy Drum Battle: Joe Farnsworth vs. Roberto Gatto BOOK A DRUM BATTLE [email protected] www.joefarnsworthdrums.com +1 (407) 583-9177.
