Jeff Kathan drums

Jeff Kathan is a big man. He’s also the drummer for Magic Bus. His job is simple...deliver the groove like a cattle brand from God. Deliver, he does, in spades.

Jeff Kathan is a professional drummer who has had the honor of playing with such legendary rock artists as Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company, The Firm, Queen), Ronnie Montrose (The Edgar Winter Group, Montrose,
Gamma), and Howard Leese (Heart). With over 10 years of international touring experience as the rhythmic backbone of The Paul Rodgers Band, Kathan has earned his place as one of the world’s most respected touring drummers.

With a stature somewhere under 20-feet tall and arms the size of small oak trees, the term “power drummer” is often used to describe the big man, but Kathan’s talents are hardly limited to one style of skin bashing. Jeff has also brought a Blues/Funk groove to acts like Spike and the Impalers (featuring KJR’s Bob Rivers and Spike O’Neill) and the Sir Mix-A-Lot produced project, Outtasite. The high demand buzz that has been generated among producers in the industry is due in part to this type of immense versatility.
