About Garet

Proven Success.

Garet is a college graduate with degrees in music business, jazz studies, and audio production. He’s been playing professionally around the country since 2015 and has called San Diego home since late 2017. Garet is the founder, owner and drummer in Saffron Band. Outside of Saffron Band his focus is on recording drum tracks for clients, working as a hired-gun drummer, and writing music. Garet grew up with a passion for drumming and started taking private lessons at a young age. He went through school excelling in all of the concert, jazz, and marching bands, then after high school went on to pursue drumming at a higher level including professional drum corps and symphony work. The band he operates and performs in now, Saffron Band, is one of San Diego’s most sought after cover bands for wedding, corporate, and private party events.

Garet’s unique experience in both drumming and music business grant him the ability to teach younger, more up-and-coming drummers the ins and outs of the industry, and how to carve out a living if that’s what they want to do. Aside from starting businesses in the industry and drumming, Garet has worked as an audio engineer, booking agent, and interned with music festival owners and music licensing, copyright, and intellectual property attorneys. His understanding of the industry is extensive.
