Drums with William B.

I come from a musical family and have been surrounded by music my whole life. My first instrument was a harmonica that I received as a toddler. I would walk around the house just blowing in it. At the age of eight years old I started my music studies on the piano. I took things to the next level by learning dance. I think the very rhythmic movements of tap and hip-hop helped to prepare me to become a percussionist. I started percussion at the age of eleven. In my high school I played in every music group that the school had. Joining the School Drum line and marched 2nd bass drum for four years winning best in percussion. It was during my high school years that I started playing in different groups. I was the first drummer for the church band that we formed. We played all types of music from spirituals to classic rock. While in college I joined a country band, we currently play shows and events all over Florida. I also taught as an after school music teacher with the Dade County public school system in Miami. Here I worked with inner city children teaching drum line percussion.
