Active in the Rhythm scene for more than 24 amazing years, Kerry the "Shakerman" has been sharing his passion for playing drums and percussion with a wide range of people from many walks of life, many whom had never played a drum or shaker in their past!  The result is evidenced by the smiles on their faces and the music that ensues, changing lives and even helping connect strangers in a disconnected world, truly caring about their successes and joy.

His path first started when he witnessed the rhythmical mastery of George Jinda, famed percussionist with the World/Jazz band "Special EFX".  Inspired, Kerry went on to design "Shakka Shakerz", hand-building over 5000 of them and leading him to his own "Road to Rhythm". 

Training with a long-list of professional teachers, players and amazing musicians over all these years, he enjoys leading students and groups on an engaging and often-times entertaining journey on what he calls the "Road to Rhythm". His custom-designed and proven programs helps guide participants towards percussive and musical success as quickly as possible so they too can enjoy the magic that rhythm brings to us.

Whether it's at a national, regional or local event, his love of rhythm, hard-earned skill sets and love of teaching and empowering others has earned him coveted positions as a respected and popular teacher at Seattle's World Rhythm Festival, the Northwest Folklife Festival, PASIC Int'l Convention, drum circles, classes and playshops from San Diego to Seattle and many many other locations and events.
