about lONNY pASILLAS

Born in Southern California into a family of drummers, Lonny's passion for music was ignited at an incredibly young age, with his mother JoAnne Pasillas Bailly and uncle Tim Bailly serving as his earliest influences. Starting his journey on drums at the age of three, and making his live debut at the age of 9, alongside his uncle Timbo, Lonny's early experiences laid the foundation for a sonic odyssey that has been hallmarked by versatility and excellence across a long range of endeavors, and the rest, they say, is history. Rapidly refining his skills over the decade to come, Lonny went on to spend his twenties playing with LA metal pioneers DEADSETT, where he gained the opportunity to collaborate with industry legends such as Chris Howorth and Travis Johnson of In This Moment, and  Matt Snell, (original member) Five Finger Death Punch. Known throughout the scene for his impeccable timing, syncopated fills, and lightning-fast double bass work, Lonny’s impressive roster of collaborations includes live and studio performances with renowned artists like Steve McGrath (Billy Idol), Rowan Robertson (DIO), Dewey Bragg, Tony Campos, and Ira Black, among many others. Lonny is currently playing and touring with Kill Devil Hill. Other performances include the Alcatraz festival in Belgium playing with Room 13, and local LA performances with the Bonnie Brae Band.

 Featuring frontman Dewey Bragg, acclaimed session/touring guitarist Mark Zavon, and original Five Finger Death Punch bassist Matt Snell, and Drummer Lonny Pasillas, Kill Devil Hill delivers a crushing sound that combines a contemporary feel with a classic aesthetic that few bands today can rival.
