BRYAN MERRYFIELD

I have been playing and learning about drumming for over 30 years now. Previous to that I studied Afro-Caribbean and Jazz dance in Barbados and Alberta.  Much of my early learning experience was through Babatunde Olatunji and his Drums of Passion performance group.

I gave also studied under Gordy and Zoe  Ryan, his main drummer and  dancer, Dido "Dr. Drum" Frances, Quatzi Ijiro, Sal Ferraris and Ray Rothschild.

I was involved with Earth Week in the 90s, helping organize a drumming festival on the Causeway in Victoria. At this time I was facilitating drumming circles with street kids in downtown Victoria.
