About This Show
Ricky Sebastian is one of the premiere drummers and music educators in the American music world. Fluent in all styles, Ricky has recorded on hundreds of albums with a myriad of artists, toured the world four times, performed at all of the top jazz festivals with numerous jazz and latin artists, and has taught thousands of students throughout his career.
In addition to tours and recordings with artists such as Herbie Mann, Dianne Reeves, Harry Belafonte, Michael Franks, Les McCann, Bobby McFerrin and more, Ricky also had the distinct experience of playing with the late bass legend, Jaco Pastorius.
Born in southwest Louisiana, Ricky was raised in a family setting that exposed him to music at a young age; particularly soul, New Orleans R&B, Cajun, and Zydeco styles, as well as jazz and blues. He has one album, "The Spirit Within," released under his name and is the author of an instructional book/CD entitled Independence on the Drum Set.
He is an active clinician for Zildjian Cymbals, Pearl Drums, Pro-Mark drumsticks, Remo products, and LP Percussion. He has given clinics and masterclasses around the globe. In 2004, Ricky was invited as a clinician for the Percussive Arts Society International Convention, which is attended by music educators from around the world. He has become an in-demand educator in the New Orleans area and is producing the next wave of young musicians in a city that is famous for its music by teaching drum and music lessons, including under the direction of the late Ellis Marsalis Jr. at the University of New Orleans' School of Music.
