Christopher Williams was born to be a drummer. After wearing out several toy drum kits, pots
and pans, he finally received a proper set of drums at age ten. Four months later he made his
live debut performing in the school talent show.
Throughout high school, Williams drummed for several rock, jazz, metal, funk and blues groups,
as well as the Greenville South Carolina Youth Orchestra. In 2004 he toured the United States
as a member of the Carolina Gold Drum & Bugle Corps. Christopher won a gold medal during
the annual Individual & Ensemble competition and retained the title until 2006. Since 2008 he
has been based in Nashville, Tennessee where he has built a strong reputation within the music
Community.
During his school years, Williams was able to study with Paul Riddle of the Marshall Tucker
band, Dr. Gary Robinson, Brian Tinkle of the Cavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps, Ed Shaughnessy,
Jim Chapin, and Elvin Jones.
