I am percussionist, composer and educator, Larry Q. Draughn Jr. I've been "banging on stuff" and trying to understand rhythm for most of my life. The first 16 years of my journey were self taught and the past 13 have been supplemented with formalized training. I've shared the stage with greats like Jimmy Heath, Branford Marsalis, Joey Calderazzo, and Christian McBride to name a few. My gift has and is taking me all around the world. Read More

As an itinerate teacher I travelled between three school buildings within the district and sometimes two buildings within the same day. It was a challenge as well as very rewarding to have prepared them for the several wonderful performances that they did do that year. Since those early days, I have been afforded many opportunities to make a difference in the lives of young people by sharing my knowledge and experience teaching General Music PreK-Grade 8.
