Percussionist Kirk ‘Captain’ Brundage has been making loud noises since he was a child – some of which have been socially acceptable. A self-described Indiana Jones of the drums, he travels to exotic and dangerous places to bring back musical goodies. Kirk’s first musical instrument was the Violin but it always broke when he hit it. Kirk likes spicy food, strong coffee, good rum, spirited women and no he never wished he played the flute!But seriously though, Kirk is part of a new generation of percussionists that has western training but also immersed themselves in another culture. Kirk studied and played classical music in Europe as a Fulbright Scholar, then went on to play in Brazilian Carnaval with the world-renowned Bloco Afro Olodum. Kirk now teaches Afro-Brazilian percussion at UCLA.
