Introduce Yourself : From Drums to music writing, to Sound by Kerry Kennard

From Drums to music writing, to Sound

HI everyone,

I've been with St. 32 for a few years now, off and on.

My journey in life has been within Drumming, and teaching and composition. It's on the updated website now. Graduating from Belmont Univ. (undergrad) and UAM for Jazz Masters, this education has helped with my writing. I did a class at EKU back in 2007-08, before the Cruise ship gig. (another journey story later).

I've had more opportunities recording drums this past Quarter (2024) and think new ones are on the horizon.

The EP done earlier this year has helped with mixing and mastering, though the Mastering was outsourced to my Sax guy in Co. He did great !

Now making a few pieces of my own, like this Hip-hop slow ballad has introduced a new style to mix.

From doing best to add Low sound without interrupting all the the lines / parts has been quite a journey. No it's not released yet, (Maurice :`).

So, if you need a lot of different style, check out my website - it has the most recent videos. Sound Samples are on Soundcloud, under the Film Music playlist. I've done best to keep both of these platforms organized.

Have a great week and hope to connect with like-minded entrepreneurial Film makers and creatives to create great music in this world.

Maurice Vaughan

Hi, Kerry Kennard. Hope you're doing great! "No it's not released yet, (Maurice :`)." I was gonna ask that. Haha

Kristin Johnson

Hi! Your music is uplifting.

Michael Elliott

Kerry...I studied under the great Joe Morello of the Dave Brubeck 5 back in the early 1960s. Then I got sidetracked by the British Invasion and switched to rock music. Totally lost my early Jazz mojo.

Sam Rivera

Hi Kerry Kennard it's great to meet you and thank you for sharing! Do you have any favorite Jazz musicians?

Cyrus Sales

Hey Kerry Kennard, great to meet..again :) I actually learn some new things about you with this post. Also, love the website layout! I'm a stickler when it comes to easy navigation on website and landing pages lol.

HI Ms. Rivera, nice meeting you as well. Dave Weckyl has been a fav. drummer - he's more into Funk and Jazz genres. Miles Davis (Tpt) is one fav. musician. I've always admired Alex Acuna as percussionist and drummer growing up. I admire Bob Mintzner -Sax player, as well as Omar Hakim - another drummer. He has some great music with grooves.
