Adam Arruda

Adam Arruda is a Toronto-born drummer based in Brooklyn who works across the jazz and improvised music scene in New York. He began playing drums at age three and trained through the Orff method at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto before joining the Brubeck Institute at the University of the Pacific as a fellow in 2008. He went on to attend the Berklee College of Music on scholarship, completing his studies in 2013 after working with Terri Lyne Carrington and Ralph Peterson Jr. among others. An endorsing artist for Canopus Drums, he has performed at venues including Smalls Jazz Club, The Jazz Gallery, and Smoke, and appears often as a sideman with pianist Eden Ladin.
