Dark Horse



Reese Barker - percussion


Hello, everyone. I"m Reese Barker, drummer for Dark Horse the Band. I have been playing percussion/drums for 50 years and have been teaching for 40 years.

My experience includes all types of music and all levels of playing and teaching. I have been in many bands over the years. I continue to teach all ages and experience levels of students-from beginner to advanced, jazz to rock-and-roll. I still take on new students of all ages. My students really have a lot of fun.

I've recorded music at Capitol Records with a band called International Cartel and that was a great experience.

I use electronic drums quite often as they are easier to carry and we can control the volume better if we need to accommodate a smaller area. This is every unique and is a big advantage for the band. My father played drums until he was 100+ years old. I love playing and I love playing with Dark Horse the Band. I hope I'll be playing when I am 100 as well.
