About Jacob Cole
Rooted in Northeast Pennsylvania, Jacob Cole is a professional musician, drummer, teacher, world percussionist, and proud father. He has been playing music since the age of seven and has been teaching for over ten years. With a true love for performing and teaching, the Berklee College of Music graduate has had the incredible opportunity to play with some of the finest musicians across multiple genres.
Jacob's instrumental voice spans handpan, drum set, and a wide palette of world percussion. His performances often draw audiences into a meditative, immersive sonic space — a reflection of his belief that music is a vehicle for connection, healing, and presence.
"I hope I can either inspire or move you through my music. Music is my way to meditate and give back to this world. It's my soul's gift." — Jacob Cole
