Neil Boumpani
I have played drums for over 50 years and vibes for over 45. I would love to play vibes with a swing band, jazz group, Latin band, or even pop or lounge band. I would love to put together a vibes-guitar-bass trio as well. My drumming background includes all styles of dance drums, and my last gig was playing drums in an Atlanta big band for 3 years. I had to leave when we moved to North Carolina.

Gear
Drums - 1970's era Rogers drums, and a big-band set that I built myself. My snare drum is a 1940's Radio King Buddy Rich model.

My press quotes are from the years I was the Duke University band director! Nothing worth repeating.
