Eric Kalver

Eric is a Los Angeles-based Music director, MUSIC SUPERVISOR, drummer, arranger, AND COMPOSER. 

Raised by a family of magicians (seriously), Eric already had stage, TV, and radio experience by age 5. At age 11, the discovery of The Beatles and the movie "That Thing You Do" inspired him to become a drummer. 20 years later, he still gets to live the dream of working in music.

Eric has worn many hats throughout his career:

  • Music Director of CoComelon and Little Angel at Moonbug Entertainment (two of the most popular preschool animated franchises on YouTube and Netflix)

  • Music Supervisor at Activision Blizzard (Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2, Call of Duty, Guitar Hero Live, Call of Duty League, Overwatch League).

  • Creative Producer and Music Supervisor for marketing campaigns with Netflix, Amazon, Warner Brothers, Hasbro, Armani, Ford, Lincoln, and Capital One.

  • Published songwriter and arranger (Amazon, Netflix, CBS, Disney+, etc.)

  • Professional performing and recording drummer (Lindsey Stirling, Todd Glass, Speelburg, and more)

Through Eric's experiences as a professional musician and award winning music supervisor that has licensed over 1,000 songs, he brings a unique perspective to the table that can speak the language of professional creatives AND musicians to bring musical ideas to fruition.

As an established drummer, you can regularly see Eric performing with the world-renowned improvisational group Baby Wants Candy and on the Netflix comedy special, Todd Glass: Act Happy.

Eric is sponsored by Tamburo Drums.

Eric is an effortless collaborator and an epic musician. Drummers who can play with solid groove and sensitive dynamics are rare, and Eric is one of them.

It’s amazing to watch you find beats in between beats in between beats. You spoil me when it comes to drumming.
— TODD GLASS, PROFESSIONAL COMEDIAN
He has an innate ability to anticipate the needs of the music, which makes his playing sensitive and vibrant-alive. This kind of mature drummer is hard to find.
