About EdEd's chemistry is about soul, feel, emotion and groove whether performing, producing music or teaching students at Bongo Boy Music School. Growing up in Northbrook, IL, Ed started his musical career at age six on piano and saxophone. He studied classical and jazz throughout his early years, while at the same time taking up marimba and vibraphone. By the time he was in eighth grade, he was playing four-mallet marimba and vibe pieces at college levels. His playing progressed through his high school years winning awards and contests in both jazz and classical performance. While in high school, Ed began taking drum set lessons with Ward Durrett, and realized that music had become more than just a hobby. After being accepted to Indiana University School of Music for percussion performance, Ed's vision and development immediately grew to a much higher level. During his first year at I.U., Ed attended a drum clinic given by Kenny Aronoff. He approached Kenny to see if he gave private lessons outside of the music school and within the next week, was taken under his wing as one of his few students. Ed began studying drums and percussion for a few of years outside of IU and qiuickly realized what he was not able to find within the music school itself. Since then, Ed has continued to bring his sound and energy to many national acts on the road and in the studio. He has performed with artists such as John Prine, Jill Sobule, Dar Williams, Todd Snider and Bob & Tom, just to name a few. The time and work Ed put forth touring with Prine helped earn the band a Grammy nomination for the album, "John Prine Live On Tour". He has also performed on such shows as Jay Leno, Conan O' Brian, and Austin City Limits, along with numerous national syndicated radio shows and local live broadcasts. Ed continues to play in front of thousands of people every month, and has become one of the top call drummers/percussionists in the Indianapolis recording scene, and the surrounding areas. Ed plays DW drums, Sabian cymbals, REMO, LP & Meinl percussion. Ed Gaus with John Prine
