About
Ben Reimer | Percussion
Ben Reimer graduated from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 2001 with a Masters in Music, majoring in Percussion Performance. From 2003-2010 he was the Coordinator of Percussion Studies at Brandon University in Manitoba, while also teaching at the Canadian Mennonite University and in his private lesson studio in Winnipeg, MB.
Currently living in Montreal, Ben’s main focus of research and performance is in demonstrating how the drumset, traditionally an improvised instrument, has recently emerged as a solo instrument with prescribed notation. His interest in the drumset and contemporary music has resulted in several recent commissions by Canadian composers such as Eliot Britton (Train Set for drumset and 5.1 surround sound effects), Nicole Lizée (Ringer for solo drumset) and Diana McIntosh (Just Add Water for vibraphone and multipercussion). Ben is a Sabian Cymbals, Yamaha Canada and Vic Firth Education/Performing Artist. complete bio...
