Drummer Billy Drummond's website features sound bites, itinerary, projects, biography, reviews, equipment set-up.
He was born in 1959 in Newport News, Virginia and began to play the drums at the age of four, influenced by his father who was also a drummer. His love affair with jazz began through his father's record collection, which included many of the classic recordings of Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Max Roach, and so on. During his youth, Billy played in various school and local bands, studying many styles of music. He then went on to college and obtained a degree in Music Performance. In early 1988, Billy arrived in New York City, looking forward to experiencing a healthier jazz scene. His first major break on the circuit was to join the young band,"Out of the Blue" (OTB), with whom he recorded on the group's final CD for Blue Note Records. Soon after, Billy joined piano master Horace Silver's Sextet and toured with them extensively.
During the past eight years, many of the world's greatest jazz artists have called upon Billy to tour and record with them including: Sonny Rollins, Pat Metheny, Joe Henderson, J.J. Johnson, Nat Adderley, Bobby Hutcherson, James Moody, Andrew Hill, Freddie Hubbard and Steve Kuhn. He has also contributed to the work of the new generation of musicians such as Javon Jackson, Renee Rosnes and Chris Potter among others. Billy is most definitely in the pantheon of tasteful drummers whose musicality and finesse always contribute to a greater effect ...
