Chris Wabich Live at World Music Presented by American Recorder

American Recorder recently caught up with Cadeson Drums sponsored drummer Chris Wabich at local southern California music shop World Music. He was kind enough to display his talents for our camera and a live crowd.

Chris describes himself as, "part tweaker, part ethnoid, part gut bucket, part color painter." He plays to whatever is happening around him and is known for his unique approach as a drumset stylist. He has created an original vocabulary by combining traditional rhythms, authentic world influences and updated brush artistry.

Chris has been a featured drum set artist-clinician with the Percussive Arts Society state conventions in Montana, Iowa, Arizona, California, North Carolina, and CSU Summer Arts Workshops. He holds 3 degrees in music, including a MM in classical music from CSU Long Beach. Chris has also studied under jazz legend Jeff Hamilton, and Balkan gypsy master drummer Salif Ali (Ivo Paposov).

He has performed and recorded with Ludacris, Sting, Brian Bromberg,
Lalo Shifrin, Alex Acuna, Sheila E, Larry Koonse, Darek Oles (Brad Mehldau), Axiom of Choice, Omar Faruk Tekbilec, Eric Bachmann, , Prog legends Kevin Ayers (Soft Machine), Mike Hoffmann (Tony Williams Lifetime), Richard Sinclair (Caravan), and many others.

Chris has also done work on shows such as: American Idol, Malcom In the Middle, and Better Homes & Gardens.
