Adrienne Davies is the current drummer and percussionist of the post-rock band Earth.[1]

Davies is credited as drummer on several of Earth's albums. They range from Living in the Gleam of an Unsheathed Sword (2005) and for drums, percussion, and wind chimes on Hex (Or Printing in the Infernal Method) (2005). She has since played on its album Hibernaculum, as well as Altar—the Sunn O))) and Boris collaboration—which also features other members of Earth. She was also the drummer for their most recent album, Full Upon Her Burning Lips, released in 2019.

Davies has stated that she was a fan of Earth before her debut. Her drumming style was heavily influenced by Dylan Carlson's pioneering drone metal sound with Michael McDaniel as the band's drummer in the 1990s. Some of her other influences include Jim Keltner, Tony Williams, and Jack DeJohnette.[2]
