Born, raised and living in Seattle Mark Arrington’s musical style stretches from Rock to Jazz to Mainstream Pop. He grew up playing gospel in his minister father's church, which provided the foundation for his groove-oriented style.
You might often hear words describing him as funky, innovative and reliable. Any performer working with Mark would agree you never worry when he's in the drum seat. Mark’s own approach as a drummer, worked his ability into his own rhythmic style.
Mark will tell you that his versatility, meat and potatoes style of drumming, add in a little imagination within the groove, is what has kept him pretty busy as a working drummer. Working with his wife Lore, he branched off into the realm of producing. “This is very gratifying work to do. I love seeing how musical parts fit together or not … depending on the outcome you're looking for. The process has been lot of fun to me." Marks producing effort with wife Lore has created some incredibly positive reviews which have inspired him to stay on his particular path.
Drumming is my life. God gave me this gift and I'm going to honor it. Life is too short to waste time not honoring your gifts.
