Author Biography

Nowick Gray has been drumming since 1990, studying along the way with such masters as Babatunde Olatunji, Alpha Yaya Diallo, Mamady Keita, Famoudou Konate, and Moussa Traore. Nowick has organized drum events ranging from all-night jams and trance dances to a world drum fusion clinic. He has collected hundreds of African, Afro-Latin, and Middle Eastern rhythms in book form, setting new standards for notating and compiling such material. He has studied drumming in Guinea, West Africa, and has performed and taught in such diverse locations as Thailand, India and Tasmania. Nowick is currently based in Victoria, BC, Canada, where he drums and arranges rhythms for African dance classes, teaches drumming, and performs with local percussion groups.
