From Every Tribe and Every Nation is a wonderfully inspiring, powerful rhythmic musical event that captures the spirit of Billy’s love for drumming and the joy of sharing that love with others.This exciting performance brings the modern drum set to the front of the stage as a solo instrument, featuring original as well as reimagined compositions.

With the use of ostinato (A continually repeated musical phrase or rhythm) Billy creates a rhythmic foundation that allows him to invite the listener into a unique musical world of melodic theme, variation and improvisation. His drum compositions vary from African, Native American, Afro Cuban and Jazz, to Rock and beyond!

Billy’s drum set” The Mothership” Looks like a modern art sculpture that features over twenty one drums and eighteen cymbals and gongs. This amazing drum set generates great excitement and anticipation for the audience, all the while giving Billy plenty of sonic options to “Make A Joyful Noise”! This is an unforgettable concert event you don’t want to miss!
