Drummer Marcus Gilmore Creates Continuous Melodies




Soundcheck show

Summary: <p>Drummer and composer Marcus Gilmore looks to the creative openness of his drum elders – like his grandfather, Roy Haynes, tabla master Zakir Hussain, or renaissance man and drummer Milford Graves - and underscores the drum set as melodic instrument – exploiting all of the potential of the components – bending notes, playing with the natural vibrations, or augmenting his set up with Sunhouse Sensory Percussion. (With thanks to <a href="https://www.moderndrummer.com/article/june-2019-chick-coreas-marcus-gilmore/">Modern Drummer Magazine’s June 2019</a> issue.) He joins us in-studio to amaze and delight with his percussive sorcery. – <em>Caryn Havlik</em></p> <p><em>Watch the session here:</em></p> <p><em>  </em></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p>
