about

Jerry 'Drumspeaker’ Chapman is from the Stó:Lō nation and is a drummer, First Nations drum maker and designer, singer and songwriter.

Jerry and I met in a unique way whilst I was on tour in Canada. I asked one of the organisers as I was setting up equipment if anyone had First Nation drums – he said no, but a voice from the auditorium shouted back, “I have a van full, do you want to borrow some?”. Since then I have spent time with Jerry and his wife Leslie, playing together at various events, learning from each other drum building techniques (he builds wonderful indigenous drums) and dreaming about recording some of his songs. This recording has been a 2 year journey of exploring together - rhythms and sounds.
