About Me

.. Benoit Vaillancourt is a drummer from Coaticook, Qc, Canada. He's been playing drums for 20 years. Benoit is playing with many bands in replacement and as a full member and with singers across the province of Quebec. Many are talking more and more about him and he is rising in the music community as a one of a kind drummer and a musical one who can add an original touch to a song.

He is also part of the "Groupe Show" based in Sherbrooke. He has played with many bands and orchestras (Rock, pop, techno/dance, jazz, blues, etc).

His "sight-reading" ability is excellent. He can write/arrange music. Benoit can play piano, bass, guitar and all form of percussion instruments.

He is presently auditioning for groups or organisations around the world to tour and play music. He is looking for touring, shows and he's ready to move !
