My name is Leor Manelis and I’m a session and live gig drummer in the Boulder/Denver Colorado area with 2 decades of gigging/session drumming, recording, producing and writing and would love to work with you.
What is most important to me when recording is listening to the artist and making sure I play the best feel for the song. My best genres are singer/songwriter, Americana, dry 70's style, rock and indie rock.
I endorse Ludwig drums, Zildjian and Istanbul cymbals, and Big Fat Snare Drum products.
Check out my band Sun Way Street.
Sun Way Street is an international duo consisting of myself and singer-songwriter Steven Eli. Our first 3 song EP was released on September 2023 featuring "Clarity" and "Young Fool" and many more songs available on streaming platforms.

“Leor was just the artist I was looking for! Everything about working with him was great. He was timely, professional and extremely creative. I will definitely be coming back with future projects without a doubt.”
