At the age of two, Deven Massarone picked up a pair of sticks and never looked back. Since then, Massarone evolved into a multi-instrument musician and composer, playing the piano, guitar, bass, saxophone, trumpet and cello. Deven has seven years of formal jazz training, but also has an advanced repertoire ranging from rock, hip-hop, classical, reggae, funk and metal. 

His playing style is diverse – Deven has participated in bands of all styles since he began playing with bands in 2001, at the age of 13. His first full-length album was recorded with pop-punk band Half Way There in 2004. From 2006 until 2008 Deven played with the Western Massachusetts reggae band WBR, which opened for acts such as Bob Marley’s The Wailers, Badfish, Morgan Heritage, Catch-22 and Steel Pulse. 

Throughout his teenage years at the Accordion Teacher’s Association of Massachusetts (ATAM) Music Festival in Newton, Mass., Deven Massarone placed first in several categories, including drum solo, set to tape, snare solo, and percussion ensemble.

Deven currently plays for the up-and-coming Western Massachusetts based alternative rock band 23 Enigma which has already opened for acts such as Smile Empty Soul and Ra. 

“From the first time I sat down behind a Noble and Cooley kit I knew there was something special about these drums. After seeing the unsurpassable and flawless amount of detail that is put into the crafting of these drums, I was blown away. Noble and Cooley drums sound perfect in any setting stage or studio. I have absolutely no desire to ever play any other kit because these drums are perfection.”   Deven Massarone
