Drumming is more than precision timekeeping; it's all about heart, passion, and driven rhythms, which makes great music. Devin “DEV” Beaman is a perfect example of a passionate drumming style. The Philadelphia native was surrounded by music from an early age and began playing drums at the tender age of seven. Devin's influences are jazz, rock, hip-hop, world music, and soul -- all of which have helped to create his style. Studying with Will Kennedy (drummer of jazz group The Yellowjackets) gave Devin the chance to show off his style as well as record and perform with other artists. Some of the artists include: Bow Wow Wow, Meg Lee Chin, Oslo, The Alchemist Sound, The Randies, Julie Neumark, Hi-Def. Devin has made (pilot) television appearances in MTV’s “Girl Makes Band”and in VH1’s “Celebrity Bands on the Run with Bow Wow Wow. He has also shared the stage with other well known acts such as Devo, Dramarama, Fishbone, Rick James, Morris Day and The Time, Lit, Hed P.E, Alien Ant Farm, Berlin, Flock of Seagulls, and Candlebox.
"Devin Beaman is a great drummer ,who has finesse and power. Also knows how to not overplay and listen to the song."
