Mark Cobb
Mark Cobb has made a name for himself as one of the finest drummers in the Atlanta music scene. Originally from Indianapolis, Mr. Cobb has worked as a professional musician in Los Angeles (where he studied under soul great James Gadson), Chicago, and finally Atlanta, where he moved a few years ago. Mr. Cobb plays drums professionally with Atlanta rock band Y-O-U, a touring group that has performed at Music Midtown, the Tabernacle, the Georgia Theater in Athens, and many other venues throughout the Southeast. He also works regularly as a session drummer with bands and solo artists in the studio, in local venues and on the road.

A graduate of the prestigious Indiana University School of Music, Mr. Cobb’s playing combines the technical abilities of a seasoned and learned session player with an infectious enthusiasm as an experienced percussion instructor. He has the ability to connect to learners of all ages and abilities, and he believes his success lies in his ability to pass on his passion for music to his students. In his spare time, Mr. Cobb scuba dives, writes screenplays, films sketch comedy, teaches Jazzercise, and defends his title as the ultimate pop culture knowledge bowl champion.

Mr. Cobb teaches drumming at Academe of the Oaks.
