Javier Weyler is the drummer for the Welsh based rock group Stereophonics.
In April 2004 Javier assisted in recording demos for Stereophonics' next studio album, later on that year Kelly Jones and Richard Jones wrote to Javier inviting him to drum permanently with the band. Javier accepted the offer and met up with the rest of the band to make Stereophonics' fifth studio album Language.Sex.Violence.Other?.
On the latest world tour promoting the release of album number 6 "Pull the Pin" Javier has switched from Slingerland to using Ludwig Custom Maple drums out on the road (though he still uses his Slingerland in the studio). He is using a 22x14 bass drum, 14x10 tom, 16x16 and 18x16 floor toms and a 14x61/2 Brady Jarrah block snare with all Ludwig hardware apart from a DW 9000 kick pedal and hi-hat stand. His cymbals are all Zildjian, with a 15" K/A hat mix, 22" K custom crash ride (x2), 22" K custom ride and a prototype 21" A custom crash ride. He also uses Remo drumheads and Zildjian Super 5B sticks.
