Andrew McAuley and Kindbeats website
Born in 1980, Andrew McAuley (aka Kind Beats) is a New York, based drummer, percussionist, composer, and educator known for his outside-of-the-box approach to drumming. Taking styles from all around the globe, he seamlessly weaves them together with both neck breaking grooves and soaring soundscapes. Influenced by mentors and percussion visionaries such as Billy Martin (of Medeski Martin & Wood) and Cyro Baptista (Beat The Donkey, Sting, Paul Simon, Herbie Hancock), his belief is that everyone should try to discover their own unique voice on the instrument and that it is an ongoing process that never truly ends.
