John Roccesano (rä-kə-‘sa-nō ) a.k.a. Johnny Rock
I’m a creative professional based in Northern NJ. I’ve been playing the drums, writing, recording, and performing since I was a child. There’s nowhere I’d rather be than in a studio or on a stage. A handful of my own projects can be explored here, plus details of my recording studio and professional services.
Creative
My creative works are all based on personal experience and exploration. I have music and books both streaming and for sale. You can explore these creations in depth on their Project pages. Follow me on social media to keep up with content about these and future projects.
Drummer/Vocalist
I perform with original bands and artists such as Debra Devi, Philosopher Pirate, and The Maybes. I’ve recorded all these artists and more in my studio in Union City, NJ. I also know hundreds of cover songs to perform at public and private events, including weddings (hire me!). Catch me at a live performance near you by checking my Gigs page.
Recording / Production
My favorite place to be is my recording studio in Union City, NJ, shared with my friend Max Feinstein (Blood and Sound).
Services include:
Recording (Music, VO, Foley, ADR)
Mixing (Music, VO, Sound Design)
Mastering
Session Drumming
Production
This fully treated, 560 square foot space is complete with Pro Tools, Logic, and Final Cut Pro; 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.
