    Don't forget to join Drum Channel on THURS 04.01 as we feature Kurt Levee, Drummer with a twist!


    Los Angeles based drummer, Kurt Levee, knows what he wants and goes after it! Kurt's interest in drums began as soon as he was able to hold a pair of sticks! At that point he used pots, pans, chairs or anything he was able to use in place of drums until he graduated to the real thing. His early exposure to Rock, Pop and Soul music enabled him to become a well-rounded and open-minded drummer with the ability to play nearly all styles of music. Levee’s biggest influence and inspiration came from the late, great John "Bonzo" Bonham.


    Kurt has made an unforgettable impression on many important names in this business, which has lead him to work with a variety of artists including Ricky Minor, James Brown, George Clinton, Sharon Osbourne, and Slash who think highly of his accomplishments and his ability to compliment their work with his unique style. Levee says “it was an honor to have worked with "The Godfather of Soul" James Brown as well as George Clinton”, who Levee greatly admired. In addition to having worked with A-List artists, Levee has been in many publications, television and radio.
