Bill Blough Music

I am a classically trained percussionist based in the Chicagoland area with extensive experience as a performer. My expertise lies in both drum set and percussion. I have a deep passion for playing various genres and styles of music, including rock, jazz, Americana, theater, and classical. Whether it’s a club, festival, or corporate event, I have garnered valuable live experience and approach every performance with a professional attitude.

Throughout my career, I have served as the resident drummer for a recording studio, embarked on full-time tours with two club bands, and participated in pit bands for numerous musicals. Recently, I had the privilege of collaborating with a 17-piece Big Band in Florida, and I am currently engaged in occasional performances in the Chicagoland area.

To complement my skills, I possess top-notch equipment such as a Yamaha Stage Custom acoustic set, a customized Roland electronic set, and a Peavey KB5 amplifier. Furthermore, my collection includes a diverse range of percussion instruments, along with a Roland SPD-30 Octopad.

I invite you to listen to my recordings below to gain a better understanding of my unique playing style. I am enthusiastic about exploring various musical opportunities, so please don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s connect and create some exceptional music together.
