Excerpted from the website description:
- Earl Talbot, Drummer/Producer/Multi-Platinum International Artist and founder of THE DRUM SCHOOL
Beginning with Susuki method for piano at the age of 4 and percussion lessons with Brad Stirtz by 12, Earl pioneered Live Hip Hop/House drumming with legendary DJs Derek Carter and Mark Farina as a Chicago teen, making an MTV debut (Smash/Polygram) before studying under Dane Richeson (featured guest artist NCHS DRUM SHOW) as a Lawrence University Percussion Major.
With Master Cameroonian Drummer Christian Akanga Bourdon, Earl won 1st place in the French National Competition Trophy Sonor (Paris) and a professorship agreement with Honor Music. His unprecedented comprehension of traditional and popular African styles on drumset stunned audiences in Cameroon, being the first American to play Bikutsi from the villages to Yaounde's notorious club scene. He became a Multi-Platinum songwriter and recording/performing artist throughout North Africa and Central Europe while fronting his group Nomads Better World (TF1/Sony) then returned stateside to join Poi Dog Pondering, and wed renowned lyricist Tamarra Love.
Earl has played with Griots Daly Mady Cissoko and Morikeba Kouyate from Senegal to Cyndi Lauper, and has collaborated with Shawn O'keefe, Patrick Stump, and Manny Sanchez (The Hush Sound- 'Like Vines') as well as produced and recorded over 100 songs for Network Television, Film, and Satellite Radio.
