Taylor Kennedy
Drums
Taylor’s passion for drumming started at the age of eleven. After high school, he was accepted into the USC Jazz Studies program. Upon completing a semester of studying Jazz, he decided that he wanted to branch out and play other styles of music. Since then, Taylor has played with a variety of groups such as Buddhist Monkey, Vertices, Ill-Funk Nation, and Latch Key Kid to name a few. He has also had the pleasure of playing on tour, opening on the West Coast, for the Wailers. Taylor currently plays with the bands Moon Units and Purple Sugar. He loves funk, soul, reggae, hip-hop and anything that is good ol’ real soulful music!
Taylor has been on Coast Music’s teaching staff for over 10 years, and many of his students have gone on to be very successful professional drummers. He enjoys sharing his love of music and drumming, especially with young, up-and-coming drummers.
