For Vicky O’Neon, rhythm has always been more than just beats and grooves—it’s been a force of connection, empowerment, and boundless creativity. Now, that energy finds a new home as she officially joins Dixon Drums, a partnership that brings together one of the most dynamic drummers of her generation with a brand that champions precision, craftsmanship, and musical expression.
Born in Finland and now commanding stages across the world, Vicky’s journey has been defined by an insatiable passion for drumming. Whether she’s performing with global icons like Brian May, Nile Rodgers, Anne-Marie, and Kaiser Chiefs, or electrifying audiences on American television’s Name That Tune, she plays with a distinct flair that is equal parts technical mastery and pure exhilaration. Her ability to adapt to any setting—whether in an intimate studio session or a stadium filled with thousands—is a testament to her depth as a musician.
Vicky’s career is a collection of remarkable moments. She has performed at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the Team GB Homecoming at Wembley, and the Eurovision opening, bringing her vibrant energy to some of the biggest televised events in the world. In 2020, she collaborated with Brian May, resulting in two tracks, one of which climbed to No. 13 on iTunes—a reflection of her ability to create music that resonates far beyond the stage. Her drumming has also been part of powerful performances with Hans Zimmer, Pharrell Williams, and Clean Bandit, further solidifying her presence in the industry.
Yet, her impact stretches beyond performance. As a passionate advocate for music education and gender equality in the industry, she co-founded Girls Rock London and Rock Donna, two initiatives dedicated to empowering young women in music. Her educational YouTube series, Drumming Through The Decades, reflects her commitment to inspiring the next generation of drummers, not only by showcasing technique but also by telling the stories behind the evolution of rhythm in popular music.
A graduate of BIMM London with a BMus (Hons) in Popular Music Performance, Vicky was recognized with the Top Overall Drummer Award, an honor that speaks to both her technical excellence and her dedication to growth as a musician. Now, as a member of the Dixon Drums family, she brings all of these experiences, talents, and aspirations into a partnership that is sure to push the boundaries of creative expression even further.
For Dixon Drums, this collaboration is more than just an endorsement—it’s an alignment of vision. With Vicky’s relentless drive and the brand’s commitment to quality and innovation, this is a union set to make waves across the drumming world. Whether on stage, in the studio, or in her continued efforts to uplift and educate the next generation, Vicky O’Neon remains a force to be reckoned with, and Dixon Drums is the perfect instrument for her ever-evolving musical journey.
