Darryn Farrugia

Independent

I began playing the drums at an early age thanks to my dad - also a drummer - who encouraged me by buying me my first drumkit and a handful of Sandy Nelson records at the age of 5.

Some of the artists Ive played behind include Tom Jones, Trisha Yearwood, Joe Cocker, B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, Jeff Skunk Baxter, Randy Crawford, Roger Daltry, Jackson Browne, Thelma Houston, Petula Clarke, Keb-Mo, Hugh Jackman and Olivia Newton John to name a few.

Ive authored two instructional books “ Groove Perspectives and The Groove Perspectives Play-along in addition to my solo album Seeds.

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    First it was my Dad. Then my teachers. Steve Gadd. And ultimately, making any musician I work with happy and comfortable.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Stay true to yourself and always put the music first.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    This changes but I go through various combinations. Recently on Jazz gigs I'm loving the 20" Constantinople Renaissance ride with my 19" Kerope. I'm also digging the dryer sounds of the K Complex and the 20" K Custom Dry Light Ride.
