I was updating a mailing list of mine tonight and decided for the hey of it to try and see how many people I was in contact with who are percussionists or drummers who loop live, either solo or with groups, since that is what I do in my performances. Here is a partial list of those that I know. I must say that the intention of creating such a list is for the purposes of commonality/communication and community and my sincerest apologies to anyone that I may have left out because of various lapses in memory. Please contact me Please help me to make it a more complete list and please forgive me if I have accidentally forgotten you..............I'm pretty tired tonight..............still coming down from Loopstock.............lol. I'll republish this list when everyone who wants to be included is on it. 1) a very partial list of percussionist/drummers who use live looping devices in their performances: Amy X Neuburg Andre Custodio Bill Smith Damon Grossman David Kirkdorffer Gino Robair James Lanpheer Jon Wagner Koorosh Daryaie Larry the "O" Oppenheimer Michael Stauffer Rick Walker Scott Amendola Steve Rice Steve Robertson Timothy Crowe Wally Schnalle 2) some who are primarily melodic loopers who, nonetheless use live percussion loops to augment their live shows: Gareth Whittock Gary Regina Luis Angulo 3) some who are primarily melodic loopers who are nonetheless, very creative drum machine programmers in their work: Michael Haumesser George Demarest Matt Davignon (who should be singled out for his exclusive use of drum machines in some of his shows) 4) some who are primarily melodic loopers who use beatboxing in their live shows: Andrew Chaiken (aka Kid Beyond) Hans Lindauer Per Boysen Michael Shieffel I include myself here because I use a lot of beatboxing. 5) any other categories I may have missed? perhaps everyone could list their favorite rhtymic influences from amongst the non-percussionist/drummers on the list...............I've certainly been inspired by Claude Voit and Andre La Fosse's rhythmic approaches amongst others, for example,
