Josh Hoover

Hoof Dreams, Hoof Drums

Hey. I'm Josh Hoover and since the late 90s I've played drums with a whole-buncha-bands (wreeeooowww). Originally hailing from the Dallas/Fort Worth area and currently 'sticking around' Milwaukee (ho ho ho).

My "sound" (totally bro) is probably a mix of British classics (Ringo, Bonham, Mitchell, Watts, etc, etc), and 90s-00s alt and indie rock (Flaming Lips, Radiohead, the Strokes, Interpol, etc, etc). One of my guilty drumming pleasure was 311 (not as much anymore... but maybe sometimes...).

Gollay Fort Worth Friday on the Green

I'm pretty much an easy going chill bro who just likes to put on some records and play along to music. I've been a bit of a recluse since the pandemic and moving across the country, but I've stayed busy working on remote recording projects using an electronic kit and Addictive Drums 2 (dicogs below!!!).

Calhoun at Sofar Sounds Dallas

I'd totally get out there and play if the vibe was right and we were definitely getting signed. If that fails I also know a thousand covers.

So let's jam or record some music or something.

Email me for drums! ...or other stuff I guess, but mostly drums.

Oh, and I also release original music as Hoovobot. Check it out.
