About Me
Alex Jenkins - Percussionist
Due to his in-depth study of the music of different cultures, Alex’s playing transcends musical
traditions and boundaries. His expression of rhythm is heavily influenced by his study of Tabla. As
a result, he has become known for his creative approach to music and his unique ability to fuse
rhythmic ideas from various disciplines, into one cohesive sound.
Alex has studied Music, Drums and Percussion at CSUS Sacramento, The Ali Akbar Khan School
of Music in San Rafael and Drummers Collective in New York. In Addition, He performs and
records regularly, around California and beyond, playing a variety of music (on both Drum set and
Tabla) including, Jazz, Afro-Cuban, Rock, Blues, Fusion, Indian Classical and just about everything
in between. Alex leads his own group called The Alex Jenkins Quartet which continues to keep
a very busy performing and touring schedule, playing more than 100 shows a year. More info at
