James Paul Nadien is a drummer/percussionist, improviser, composer, and educator in New York City.
Nadien can be described as a polymath, with a voracious thirst for knowledge and fact.
One can find Nadien any night of the week playing his ass off in a myriad different ensembles in the 5 boroughs and beyond.
He not only plays the drums, but is also highly proficient on piano, guitar, and electric bass.
A prolific composer, Nadien is consistently writing original and complex music for the noise-rock/brutal-prog trio "Toadal Package", and for his uniquely chamber-like band "TYPO!".
Nadien is a deeply sensitive and empathetic musician with impeccable sight-reading skills, making him a first-call for almost any musical situation.
He also runs "JPN Records", where he releases his own albums both physically via compact discs and digitally via Bandcamp.
