Jim Meneses

Drummers are rarely remembered by rock history, even when they made an impact. Jim Meneses is one of them. Through the ?80s and early-to-mid-'90s, he has contributed his idiosyncratic playing to a string of influential groups of avant-rock persuasion, both in his native Philadelphia and mainland Europe: The Stick Men, KIXX, Zero Pop, Palinckx, Blast. His creative techniques, improv flair, and impeccable timing even in the oddest time signatures have been instrumental in these groups' artistic successes. Meneses also performs as an improvisor and since the late 1990s has been mostly writing music for theatre and dance, and performing on a custom-made MIDI marimba.
