Ari Amir is the new percussionist for MAYHEM LI. For Ari, music occupies a large part of his life. He is passionate about playing the drums and has been taking drum lessons for many years.

Ari's love of drumming evolved from playing on sand pails and white

utility buckets all the way up to rocking a 13-piece drum kit, And now very recently, the Congas and Bongos, all of which get a daily workout. Really it is as if Ari were born with drumsticks in his hands, always using whatever he could to keep the beat: his fingers, hands, pencils, and even kitchen utensils.

Ari’s taste in music runs from Pop, Rock and Roll, Oldies, Reggae, to foreign artists. He was a member of F.R.E.E.’s Drumline and now the Calhoun Music and Drum Academy’s Drumline.

In his personal time Ari is a TV show and movie enthusiast who enjoys traveling, going to concerts and attending Broadway shows. When he is not “drumming” Ari can be found working in the kitchen at Louie’s Prime Steak & Seafood in Port Washington.

Ari is proud and thrilled to have been asked to join Mayhem Long Island’s band.
