| Graham Taylor: Graham studied drums with Alan Dawson at the Berklee School of Music. After touring Europe with R&B groups like the Fender Benders and Joe Taino, he joined the Brazilian Samba band Realce on their world tour. He returned to the U.S. to form the Dug Rock Show with Carloz Alomar and John K. from David Bowie's band, and recently he performed with the Woodstock sensation "Naked". Graham is currently adapting various forms of African poly-rhythm to the western drum set, based on the theory that many conventional rhythms in contemporary music find their root in rhythms that were brought from Africa by slaves. He also developed the first true redesign of the drumstick ever, the Hipstic. (hipstic.com). |
