Indie Rock Drummer
About Cameron Wedges
In 2017, during a rain-soaked set at The Smell in Los Angeles, Cameron Wedges dismantled his drum kit mid-song, replacing the snare with a warped vinyl record and triggering feedback loops through a modified Roland TR-606. That moment crystallized his signature approach: treating rhythm not as timekeeping but as tactile storytelling. He’s the drummer who taught Phoebe Bridgers’ early band how to leave space for silence to breathe, and co-wrote the polyrhythmic backbone of Japanese Breakfast’s ‘Be Sweet’ using only acoustic triggers and cassette tape delay. His kit bears permanent gouges from years of playing on plywood stages in DIY basements, and he still tunes by ear using a battered Korg tuner from 2003, not because he can’t afford newer gear, but because he trusts the slight calibration drift to keep him honest. Cameron doesn’t chase click tracks; he chases the tremor in a singer’s voice right before the chorus hits, and builds the groove around that human waver.
