HERE IS A VIDEO OF ME WITH MOFRO @ THE BOULEVARD CAFE IN CHICAGO 2001!!.....ENJOY*****BIO***** "MILE-WIDE FROM THE WESTSIDE"(refering to bea's wide pocket!) thats what bea gayle was pinned with recently from legendary bassist/a&r rep, greg humpfreys while in nashville,tn. working with amber mcswain, and hand drumming on conference desks in rooms with major labels!!!THAT WAS FUN!!! bea "bbqueen" gayle was born on the north/east side of jax, fl. to dana and robert gayle. she is part of such a huge extended family from several parts of virginia, that she lost count years ago.bea grew up traveling back and forth from jax to va. and to various vacationing spots, in a chevy conversion van that her parents owned, and attributes those adventures to her passion for touring and the love of music."music is my life",says bea."it is the ONLY thing that has ever gotten me through all of my hardships". "i was exsposed to b-bop,country,and bluegrass, on a 24/7 basis from the time i was born! my father loved music, and would beat on the dashboard whenever we went anywhere! so i think that definatly helped!" bea got her first drum kit from her late great brother in law, harry white, of "harry white and the texas outlaws" from norfolk,va. that group collaborated with the likes of jackie phelts of "hee-haw" fame,paul taylor,and earnest tubb. " i grew up with mostly country and be-bop, but today i listen to and play all types of music" bea's playing style is that of a permanent look of bemusement(ala:charlie watts), its organic, solid, yet versitile."im a team player,i play for the song, and i pretty much stay where im comfortable, in the groove, and in the pocket!"i love playing a small organic kit, it forces you to concentrate on pocket! "most of my influences are that of music as a whole itself,and of singer/songwriters, rather than drummers, and include, but not limited to: loui armstrong,alanis morisette,paula cole, jj grey,the roots, james brown,coldplay,radiohead, jill scott, and many,many more!! bea's built-in metronome is evident in her solid playing. this,in-demand,all-purpose drummers' versitility makes her very adaptable.she chose to come into her own as a songwriters drummer."im completely self-taught"" i am only as good as the complexity of the music i am playing". bea believes it was her wild playing experiences from her past that landed her on a u.s. summer tour in 2001 with north florida funksters,"mofro". bea was the final pick from a whopping number of 30 ~MEN~ auditioning for the touring spot!!.john"jj" grey has dubbed bea as,"the pocket master"!
