Christopher Williams may be young, but he’s no stranger to the music scene. Beginning his drumming career in the womb, he hasn’t looked back since. Like many drummers, his first pair of drumsticks was a set of wooden cooking spoons from the kitchen. From there he began beating on anything within reach, especially the pots and pans. After going through several “children’s†drum kits, he finally received a Ludwig set in the fourth grade. A few months later, he made his live debut playing along to the Georgia Satellites hit “Keep Your Hands to Yourself†at the school talent show. Throughout high school he played with several rock, jazz, metal, funk, fusion, and blues outfits, as well as the Greenville Youth Orchestra and Greenville Symphony Orchestra. Following his senior year of high school, Williams found himself touring throughout the U.S., marching in the snare line as a member of the Carolina Gold Drum and Bugle Corps.Williams has studied jazz, latin, rudimental, classical and orchestral percussion under teachers Paul Riddle (Marshall Tucker band), Dr. Gary Robinson, Brian Tinkle (Brass Theater, Carolina Crown Drum & Bugle Corps, Mars Hill College), and has taken lessons with Ed Shaughnessy, Jim Chapin, and the late Elvin Jones.Sharing the stage with such musicians as Peter Stroud (Sheryl Crow), Bernard Fowler (Rolling Stones, solo artist), Carmine Rojas (David Bowie, Rod Stewart), Teddy Zigzag (Guns N Roses, Alice Cooper), and Steve Watson (Dolly Parton, blues/session guitarist), he has proven his ability to hang with the big dogs.-------------------------------------------------------
