Over a 15-year career based in Montreal, Canadian multi-percussionist Patrick Graham has been described as a “master improviser on percussion” who “…stands on the border of several forms of traditional and creative music, embracing the world of rhythm as a whole” (Le Devoir). Patrick displays a talent for fusing a eclectic array of influences, ranging from Japanese percussion through Indian and Irish rhythms to Mediterranean frame drumming, as a well as a passion for new sounds and improvisation. This unique cross-genre approach is reflective of an extensive study of the art of percussion, including a Bachelor of Music from McGill University (Montreal), as well as private training with Glen Velez (New York), Carlo Rizzo (Grenoble), Trichy Sankaran (Toronto), and Taichi Ozaki (Tokyo). In addition, Patrick has attended workshops and master classes at the Banff Center for the Arts, Simon Fraser University, and participated in the Taiko Koh-Kan workshops conducted by the group Kodō, on Sado Island in Japan. | Over a 15-year career based in Montreal, Canadian multi-percussionist Patrick Graham has been described as a “master improviser on percussion” who “…stands on the border of several forms of traditional and creative music, embracing the world of rhythm as a whole” (Le Devoir).
