John Roccesano (rä-kə-‘sa-nō ) a.k.a. Johnny Rock
I’ve been playing the drums and recording music since 1992. Music is my lifelong passion, and I’d love to help bring your songs to life. I play a variety of styles, own drums and cymbals for any occasion, and there’s nowhere I’d rather be than in a studio or on a stage.
I’m based in Hudson County, New Jersey, and our vibrant music community has always felt like home. I’ve played and toured with original bands and artists such as Debra Devi, Viktor.Digital, Philosopher Pirate, and The Maybes. I’ve recorded all of these artists and more in my studio in Union City, NJ. I also know hundreds of cover songs, and I play or sub in cover bands.

Recording / Production
My favorite place to be is my recording studio in Union City, NJ, which I share with my friend Maxwell Feinstein.

This fully treated, 560 square foot space is complete with Pro Tools, Logic, and Adobe Premiere; conversion by Metric Halo; preamps by SSL, Vintech, Pendulum, A-Designs, BURL, and UA. The room has high ceilings (great for drum sounds), comfortably fits most bands, houses a large isolation booth, and we have a wealth of microphones, in-house drums and many cymbals, guitar amps and pedals, and my favorite of course – the percussion bin. Be sure to see my Gear List.
