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.
