Joey Waronker is the touring drummer for the Oasis reunion, holding the kit on Live ‘25 and reported to continue for Live ‘27. Oasis has never had a single permanent drummer the way it has had the Gallaghers up front, the seat has passed through several players over the decades, and for the reunion it went to one of the most respected session drummers in the world.

An American musician with a long CV, Waronker has recorded and toured with Beck, R.E.M. and Atoms for Peace among many others, which means he brings deep stadium experience to a band whose rhythm section has to carry songs built for crowds of tens of thousands. His job on this tour is less about reinvention than about driving the classic material with the power it needs across a two-hour set.

As a touring player rather than a band member, his role is specific to the reunion live shows. For the full band around him, see the Live ‘27 lineup; for every drummer Oasis has used, see the Oasis members hub.
