Drawing on a decade of music experience and collaborations, Jing Xi combines a deep history of performance with a lifelong commitment to learning and a genuine curiosity to find new approaches.
"Jing Xi is a collaborative, rhythmic, and incredibly versatile drummer to play with. He has expressive skills and really feels music authentically. When we played together, we always forget his younger age, but in rehearsal breaks he brings just the good amount of goof to the team."

Bassist, Composer
"Jing Xi is a young and skilled jazz drummer whose playing combines technical precision with expressive subtlety. His awareness of the band's energy grants his playing adaptivity, supporting the music with clarity while responding intuitively to fellow musicians. Whether doing a professional concert or casual jamming, it is a great pleasure to play with Jing Xi."
Eason
Guitarist, Composer at Oxford
"Jing Xi plays like a demon on wheels, with a strong hand on the brakes. He drives a groove, pumps a rhythm, and can pause it and bring it right back at a whim. It's fun to play with him, and he's patient, easygoing, and capable of playing multiple instruments, not just the drums. 10/10. Would house invade again."
