Jussi Heikki Tapio Vuori (born 11 July 1972), better known as Jussi 69, is the drummer for the Finnish rock band The 69 Eyes. He is best known for his flamboyant playing style; his kit is set up low to allow for the maximum exposure of his on-stage antics.

He appeared in an episode of Viva La Bam and in the film Bam Margera Presents: Where the ♯$&% Is Santa?.
