Jeff Heintz is a longtime Sonor player and highly respected drum tech and live production professional, best known for his work with Styx. Originally a drummer himself, Heintz came up through the live music scene in the 1980s, eventually transitioning into drum tech and production roles after touring opportunities opened that path. A rather shy individual, Heintz was pressed into service within 10 minutes of Styx concert, subbing for the ailing Todd Sucherman. His performance earned his praise and respect within the drumming community.
