He even got a chance to work with film score and Oingo Boingo legend Danny Elfman on 2012’s Oscar Winner “Silver Linings Playbook.”
Jonathan Joseph
Jonathan, like many of the great players down here, grew up playing at his local church. His mother was actually the Choir leader. With an amazing Gospel foundation and tutelage at the University of Miami, Jonathan switched over to jazz as an adult and has since toured the world with jazz legends like Mike Stern, Randy Brecker, Pat Metheny, David Sanborn, and Joe Zawinul. Most recently, Jonathan has joined Jeff Beck’s band—and just in time for Beck’s partnership with Brian Wilson!
Jonathan is endorsed by Sakae Rhythm Drums, Sabian Cymbals, and Regal Tip Drumsticks.
Keith Cronin
Keith has played with everyone there is to play with here in South Florida, so we sought Keith out to be our first major RezDrums Endorsee. Keith brought 3 feet deep double bass drums around the world with the Pat Travers Band as part of our very excessive (and very 80s) Kill On Command custom drum series. Keith was recruited and joined “The Big Man” Clearance Clemmons’ Band where he held down the Drum Chair for many Years including hosting the Espy’s, Jeff’s favorite claim to Fame!
Mark Poiesz
Mark, a UM grad, hit the local scene running, recording and playing with everybody here in Miami. He became an amazing “go-to” South Florida drummer, and joined up with Jon Secada. Mark moved to Nashville, and was soon touring with Chuck Wicks and up-and-comer Lindsey El, opening for the Grammy winning “ The Band Perry!” Mark is currently drumming with Tyler Farr, touring behind Tylers’ # 1 hit “Redneck Crazy”, opening for Jason Aldeen. This Summer Mark was seen on The Today Show, and The Indy 500!

Mike Marsh
Mike was once the up-and-comer here at Resurrection Drums–that is, until his band Dashboard Confessional took off! Mike’s been a major force in the rock drumming world ever since. He’s been the drummer for the Avett Brothers since 2012, and recorded their album “The Carpenter” with producing legend Rick Rubin. Fun Fact! Mike was endorsed by Rez Custom Drums, and can be seen playing them on Dashboard Confessionals MTV Unplugged special!

He’s gotten to play with legends like Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Steve Perry, and The Fifth Dimension and has played on the soundtracks of many of today’s biggest blockbusters. Fun Fact!
