1. scott dean
The official website of Scott Dean the Australian drummer. View the photo gallery, download mp3 files, browse the gig list, sign the guest book, etc and learn more about Scott Dean, his musical philosophies and his fusion band “Indaba”.
When I read my "Baby book" that my parents had prepared for me,
it said that at the age of three years old I was humming all
the guitar solos to the music they would play on the radio etc.
I guess it started way back then. I have always had an intense
passion for music, but gladly i didn't pursue the guitar..haha
My brother and I recieved our first drumkit in about 1978.
With brotherhood comes competitiveness, and we both pushed
each other to improve and out-play the other.
My brother, Trent Bryson-Dean is an amazing drummer now by any standard.
Anyways, we destroyed our first drumkit pretty quickly, leaving me
to play many an hour on a beanbag we had in our loungeroom,
whilst listening to music such as Led Zeppelin or the Police
with headphones on.
We finally got another drumkit in about 1983. What a wait that was!
I had figured many things out without a drumkit and things came
very naturally to me on my new blue Tama Swingstars.
Two years of hard practice and I was in my first Rock N' Roll band.
I haven't looked back ever since!
At first I was totally a rock pig, but my entire idea of the drums
changed when i heard the Chick Corea album "Inside Out".
Dave Weckl's playing was something i had never experienced
and I was forever destined to be a fusion musician after hearing "Inside Out" ...

Herve Chiquet, drummer: His professional career begins very soon in his birthplace “Blois” (North of France) where he sets up many funk, rock and jazz bands. Yet, the opening of all the music predominates in his artistic process. His teaching course starts in 1980 by the general study of drums and classical percussions, guided by Carol Leroy at the Blois conservatoire.
In 1987, he approaches the jazz, from the Ario to the big band, at the CIM in Paris with Guy Hayat, Jean Michel Davis or Jean Pierre Aupert. A training period with Billy Hart completes his knowledge. Finally, 3 years of studies at the Agostini School in Toulouse directed by Daniel Dumoulin bring him another instrumental experience. The live music stays his sparehead and during his course in Paris, he accompanies the French Rock band « CAPALDI » with Sébastien Chouard, plays with the Panam Jazz Quintet too, with Patrick Bocquel and works especially for afro-west indian formations as « SILENCE » directed by Christian Combette or also « CHOUKAS » foundated by Joby Garnier.
He moves to Toulouse in 1994 and comes looking for a different inspiration as he begins his metal drummer career in the trio “Jack in the box”. At the same time he integrates the « CADILLAC BAND » of José Haro, big ban Jazz-Salsa during two years then go back on the roads with “Jack In The Box” ...

Billy Cobham's Official Web Site.
Only a few times in history has a musician been singled out as the world-class master of his instrument. Billy Cobham is one of those few artists. For over 30 years, he has received international acclaim as the total consummate percussionist.
The legendary Billy Cobham, with his matchless, dazzling, ambidextrous skills as a drummer, has applied the same insistent fervor to his long list of monumental achievements. He’s an accomplished composer and record producer.
