Anton Hochheim is a drummer/multi-instrumentalist based in Los Angeles. His drumming career started at 5 years of age, when his parents bought him a Casio keyboard that he primarily used to finger-drum along to Michael Jackson and Disney soundtracks. Anton has been a member of indie rock band Beach Fossils since 2016. Previously he was the long-standing drummer for The Pains of Being Pure At Heart and The Depreciation Guild, and has toured and recorded extensively with groups including Jerry Paper, Dent May, Rush Midnight and Dinowalrus.
