Jussi 69 (born Jussi Heikki Tapio Vuori in Helsinki, Finland on July 11, 1972) is the drummer for the Finnish rock band The 69 Eyes. He is most well known for his flamboyant playing style that has earned him the attention of fans and cameramen alike; his kit is set up low to allow for the maximum exposure of his on-stage antics.
Jussi's drumming is simple yet effective, relying primarily on cymbal flourishes rather than pure drum fills to transition between sections of a song.
