Residing in Nashville, Payden Hilliard has built a reputation for explosive live performances, detailed session drumming, and modern record production. Since launching his professional touring career at just 18 years old, Payden has collaborated with a wide range of artists, producers, and songwriters across the CCM, country, and pop worlds.

Known for combining musicality, feel, and mix-ready precision, his approach to drum production ultimately led to the creation of Drum Sample Shop alongside co-founder Jonny Bird. Today, through Drum Sample Shop, Payden continues to help producers, mixers, songwriters, and artists create faster with professional drum sounds designed to inspire creativity from the very first session.
