Introducing Yussef Dayes…
“Each beat surges through him like an electric shock…”
We are thrilled to introduce a new member to the Yamaha Drums family Yussef Dayes.
Growing up in South east London, Yussef began his musician journey listening to his dad’s jazz records, and performing with his brothers from age 4. He’s gone on to study with the legendary Billy Cobham, and began regular gigging with his brothers in cosmically-inclined, afrobeat outfit United Vibrations. According to UK´s The Independent “Each beat surges through him like an electric shock, and sometimes you can’t tell if it’s him playing the drums or the drums playing him. He moves with an indefatigable vigor and dexterity, drawing beats from Sixties jazz, from bossa nova, from early dubstep, from J Dilla, from just about anywhere”.
We caught up with Yussef in Sleeper Sounds Studio, London to learn about his background and inspirations, plus take the opportunity to get a session in with his Yamaha Recording Custom kit.
