Who is Stix Zadinia?
Stix Zadinia is a hard-hitting professional drummer based in Kansas City, Missouri, best known as the powerhouse behind rock band Steel Panther — a band with six studio albums and headline shows ranging from intimate ten-person club nights to roaring crowds of 100,000. Whether you need someone to hold down the pocket in the studio or absolutely destroy a stage on a full tour, Stix is ready, available, and looking to rock.
Services Offered
- Live hire — individual gigs
- Live hire — full tours
- Studio sessions
- Remote sessions recorded from his home studio
- Willing to travel internationally
Genres and Style
Stix brings genuine versatility to every project. His core strengths span:
- Rock — his natural home, delivered with serious power and feel
- Pop — clean, musical, and always in service of the song
- Country — rooted, rhythmic, and road-tested
His knowledge of popular music stretches back to the 1950s and 60s, meaning he can authentically inhabit the feel of practically any decade. If it has a backbeat, Stix has it covered.
Based in United States, Kansas City, Mo
Stix is based in Kansas City, Missouri, putting him within reach of a wide stretch of the Midwest — including St. Louis, Wichita, Omaha, Tulsa, and beyond. His willingness to travel internationally means geography is rarely an obstacle; if the gig is worth rocking, he'll be there.
For producers and artists who can't accommodate travel, Stix also offers fully remote recording sessions from his home studio, delivering professional-quality drum tracks wherever you are in the world.
About Stix
In his own words:
> "My name is Stix Zadinia. I play drums in a band called Steel Panther. I hit hard, I party hard, and I rock hard. We have released 6 studio albums to date. I've played live shows to 10 people and I've rocked 100,000 people. Regardless of the attendance, my goal is to rock you harder than you have ever been rocked. See you on the road. Heavy Metal Rules."
His setup? A five-piece DW kit with Sabian cymbals, a Porter and Davies throne, and LDC drumsticks — and an attitude that treats every single show like it's the biggest of his career.
