Description
Buster Birch, freelance drummer and percussionist:
Hello and welcome to my web site. Finally, a chance to have everything all together in one place. Being a self-employed freelance musician I find myself working in a wide variety of musical spheres. When performing this can vary between jazz groups, orchestras, covers bands, cabaret and musical theatre. When teaching this can range from one-to-one lessons to percussion groups and larger scale workshops. Please feel free to get in touch if you would like further information about anything contained in this website.
Playing professionally since his teens, Buster is a very experienced musician in many fields of music. He has a degree in music from the University of London and a post-graduate diploma in jazz performance from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (where he was able to meet and play with Branford Marsalis, Randy Brecker, Billy Cobham and Dave Liebman, not to mention most of London's top jazz musicians who tutor at the college). Whilst living in New York, he also studied at the Drummers Collective in Manhattan and privately with Jim Chapin and Joe Morello (of The Dave Brubeck Quartet).
He has travelled extensively as a musician and has now played in over 30 countries with various jazz ensembles, orchestras and shows.
His experience in playing jazz is considerable and includes big-bands to small groups. He regularly plays with many of the up-coming "young lions" on the London jazz scene, but particularly enjoys working with the "more mature" generation of British jazz veterans, who he finds very inspiring.
His experience of orchestral playing is quite substantial for someone who has chosen not to specialise in that field and includes playing for The Sarum Chamber Orchestra and The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
He also has extensive experience in musical theatre, having played for countless shows in various theatre pits in the uk and abroad. These include West Side Story, Chess, South Pacific, A Chorus Line, Annie, Five Guys Named Mo, La Cage Aux Folles, Little Shop of Horrors, Les Miserables, Chicago, The King and I, My Fair Lady, Oliver and many more! ...

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” ...

Born in Quebec, Stéphane is developing his professional career from various aspects: Educator, Clinician, Musician and Author. He remembers always being fascinated by and attracted to the drums. He studied with many professors from the Quebec City area, and at the Conservatory of Music in Quebec.
After having seen an animated drum clinic given by legendary Dom Famularo, there was no doubt that he wanted to play drums for a living, because it was his passion. He chose to organize his life for drumming work.
Since 1999, he studied (and keeps on studying) with the best drumming educators: Long Island (Dom Famularo, Jim Chapin, John Favicchia); New York (Bobby Sanabria, Billy Ward, Robby Ameen); New Jersey, (John Riley, Joe Bergamini) and Toronto (Paul DeLong, Rick Gratton, Jeff Salem).
In 2000, he was awarded a grant from Foundation CHABOU and a Merit Certificate from the Town of Quebec. In 2002, he obtained a grant from The Council of Arts of Canada as a professional artist in the continuation of improvement. In 2003, he was the recipient of the Larrie London Percussive Art Society Scholarship of The P.A.S. ...

Originaire de Québec, Stéphane développe sa carrière professionnelle sous différents aspects soit en tant que Professeur, Clinicien, Musicien et Auteur. Du plus loin qu'il se rappelle, Stéphane a toujours été fasciné et attiré par la batterie. Il étudia en cours privés avec des professeurs de la région et au Conservatoire de musique de Québec.
Après avoir vue une Clinique de batterie animée par le légendaire Dom Famularo, de passage à Québec pour cet événement, il fit un choix réfléchi. La batterie était ce qu'il voulait dans sa vie; c'était sans aucun doute ce que Stephane voulait : Vivre pour jouer car c'est ce qu'il le rendait le plus heureux. Il choisit d'organiser sa vie selon son travail et non pas pour le contraire car c'était là sa passion.
Depuis 1999, il continue d'étudier avec les meilleurs professeurs de Long Island (Dom Famularo, Jim Chapin, John Favicchia), de New York (Bobby Sanabria, Billy Ward, Robby Amenn), du New Jersey (Joe Bergamini) et de Toronto (Paul DeLong, John Riley, Rick Gratton, Jeff Salem).
Gagnant d'une bourse de la Fondation Chabou et d'un Certificat au mérite de la Ville de Québec en 2000; Boursier du Conseil des Arts du Canada en tant qu'artiste professionnel dans la poursuite de son perfectionnement en 2002; Gagnant de la Bourse américaine Larrie London du Percussive Art Society (PAS) en 2003.
À l'automne 2002, il crée sa propre entreprise DrumChamber Production qui offre différents services reliés à la batterie. De plus, en association avec Dom Famularo il démarre le Wizdom DrumShed de Québec, école spécialisée de batterie. Son talent, sa dynamique et son expérience se reflètent sur sa façon d'enseigner et complémentarise sa relation élève/professeur ...

Dave Dicenso is a drummer from Boston and Berklee College of Music Instructor.
Dave DiCenso is a drummer known for his big sound, deep pocket and soulful style - oh yeah....and some blazing chops. He has honed his style by touring and recording with a long and very diverse list of world renowned artists including pop legends Duran Duran, prog-rock icon Steve Morse, contemporary prog-rock master John Petrucci, NYC's hardcore pioneers Cro-Mags, blues-rock master Johnny A., fusion guru David Fiuczynski and contemporary-jazz virtuoso Hiromi. Along the way, he's worked with a host of incredible bass players including Anthony Jackson, Stu Hamm, and Dave LaRue. Dave has also been a featured performer at major percussion industry events including the Montreal Drum Festival, the Percussive Arts Society Convention, N.A.M.M., and Music MESA. He is sponsored by and has long-standing relationships with Zildjian Cymbal Co., Vater Percussion, Remo Inc., and Pearl Drums. Dave is also a gifted and exciting clinician as well as an Assistant Professor of Percussion at Berklee College of Music.
Growing up in the Boston area with a drumming father, Dave has been living drums since he was a toddler. After banging on his dad's drums for a couple of years, Dave began asking him for lessons at the ripe old age of four. It wasn't until a year later that he actually began studying. He quickly realized that "playing" drums was more fun then studying them. Though he tended to prefer playing football and baseball to practicing drums, Dave kept up his lessons for five years. Despite his father's large collection of jazz records, during this time period, Dave's ears and heart migrated to the backbeat music he was hearing on the radio. He particularly enjoyed the sounds of artists such as America, the Little River band, Bread, Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack, James Taylor, the Commodores, Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago, and Steely Dan.
At the age of ten, Dave decided to satisfy a long-standing craving to play the guitar. He took guitar lessons for the next five years while exploring heavier types of rock music. At this time, he began listening to artists such as Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Van Halen, Yes, Rush, Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix. Dave's first several public performances were as a guitar player in rock bands at local schools and VFW halls.
At the age of fifteen, Dave decided to pursue a professional drumming career. He began performing immediately at local schools, halls, clubs, and hotels. At seventeen, he began taking lessons again from his father and this time took his studying seriously. He was simultaneously learning music theory through private instruction on the piano. His listening pleasures were now including bands like Mötley Crue, Saxon, Queensryche, Michael Schenker Group, Metallica, and Slayer ...

Clayton Cameron, drummer, has a dynamic career that has already crossed many barriers in the world of music. From Sammy Davis Jr. to Tony Bennett, Clayton continues to push the envelope of contemporary drumming and brushes to their very limits. After the release of the 1990 video, “The Living Art of Brushes" Clayton has been given the honorary title “Brush Master”. Since the release of this ground breaking video Clayton has noticed a wonderful reaction from the drumming community, “It's been wonderful watching the growing interest in this art form. I never thought that my rhythmic tapping on empty oatmeal boxes would lead to such a distinction as Brush Master. My parents always thought I just loved oatmeal for breakfast. The fact is I knew the sooner I emptied the box...the sooner I’d have another cardboard drum.”
Born in Los Angeles, California Clayton began playing bongos at the age of seven. By age twelve his fascination with drums became so apparent his parents decided to buy him his first drum set and sent Clayton to music school for drum lessons. “I guess they tired of my oatmeal box drumming as much as I tired of eating those hearty oats every morning.” Clayton went on to get a degree in music from California State University at Northridge. During college, he played in clubs around L.A behind artists who were mentors to him. They included vocalist O.C Smith, Ernie Andrews, Jimmy Weatherspoon, instrumentalist Teddy Edwards, Larry Gails( of Thelonious Monk fame) and Gerald Wilson. After graduating from college, Clayton moved to Las Vegas to perform nightly with a jazz group called the Kirk Stuart trio. Clayton’s drum teacher Clarence Johnston advised Clayton to do his job and stay away from gambling. “I took his advice to heart. I would quickly find out from the casino boss that my job was not to entertain people with my bombastic drum solos, in fact the only music to his ears was the ching ching sound of the slot machines. No matter how softly I played with sticks it was not quite enough. So for six nights a week...during an eight-month engagement, I played...you guessed it...only brushes.” By experimenting with brush techniques and different styles Clayton was basically trying to make drumming more interesting. “It was during this time that some of the rough ideas for my future videos and books were initially developed. During my stint with the trio, we also toured with Joe Williams-the great blues singer. My time with Joe and the trio was a memorable learning experience” ...
