Drew Lawhorn
Originally from Salem, VA, Drew Lawhorn, 26, started playing the drums and performing professionally at age 13. He started out playing snare drum in the high school marching band where he then later focused on jazz and music theory. At age 16, he became a drum instructor and taught private lessons to students. Straight out of high school at the age of 17, Drew was hired on by several high schools as a drumline instructor where he wrote, arranged and taught percussion.
Drew’s musicality was developed through influences across the entire musical spectrum, from Jazz and Funk to Country and Rock and Roll. His style draws from main influences such as Carter Beauford, JJ Johnson, Steve Ferrone, and Buddy Rich.
