Duncan Moore

Biography
Articles

I grew up in Des Moines, Iowa and began my drum studies at the age of 8. After years of school bands and orchestras, as well as weekend gigs with various rock bands, I moved to Iowa City, majoring in music at the University of Iowa. Studying percussion with Tom Davis, and playing with local jazz groups kept me busy until 1977, when I moved to San Diego, CA.

I also maintain a home recording studio, where I record drum and percussion tracks for various projects.

Besides teaching privately, I am the drumset instructor at Mira Costa College in Oceanside California, as well as the University of California San Diego, in La Jolla. I have been on the faculty at various jazz camps, and have given numerous drum clinics.

I am endorsed by Zildjian Cymbals and Vic Firth Sticks.

Peter Sprague, the San Diego-based guitarist who has gigged with everyone from Chick Corea to Hubert Laws, Charles McPherson to Dianne Reeves, seems to be accelerating his recording output of late. He is averaging more than two albums a year as leader the past half-decade, plus guest appearances on numerous others. And all of this is on top of his work running his own studio and small record label, SBE ("Striving to Break Even") plus a busy performance schedule.
