List of jazz drummers

Jazz drummers play percussion (predominantly the drum set) in jazz, jazz fusion, and other jazz subgenres such as latin jazz.

By the time he was twelve, he was playing in a variety of rock bands and, when he was fifteen, he met Walt Parazaider and Terry Kath at an audition for a group called the Executives.

While studying percussion at DePaul University with Bob Tilles, a well-known percussion genius, Seraphine came into contact with several of the musicians who would later comprise the Missing Links, the forerunner of Chicago. After leaving DePaul, he continued with further study under Chuck Flores, who had played with May
