Hi I'm Taylor (and my full name is Michael J. Taylor). I've been teaching, performing, and recording West African percussion since 1994.
Also I'm the owner and driving force behind Holy Goat Percussion.
I import, sell, and repair West African drums and teach. I'm a Tam Tam Mandingue Djembe Academy Senior Certified Instructor and the director of the Tam Tam Mandingue Djembe Academy – Chicago, School of Percussion.
My main instruments are the djembe, dunun and Malinke flute, and I also play a wide assortment of other drums including bugaraboo, congas, frame drum, bongos, and doumbek. There's more about what I'm up to on my website.
