Don Dailey (Drums/Percussion/Electronics):

I started out playing pots and pans as a little boy. I got a toy drum set one Christmas and was playing along with the Beatles on television. I started taking drum lessons in the 7th grade. I have been playing drums, percussion and electronic drums, professionally for 57 years. I loves all styles of music.

I have played with a wide variety of bands (Country, R&B, 50-60's Oldies, Jazz, Rock and Polka) including...60's stars "Gary Lewis and The Playboys" ("This Diamond Ring", Comedian Jerry Lewis' Son), "The Carlton-Taylor Band" (They won the very first "Marlboro Country Music Talent Roundup" contest they had in Indianapolis, Indiana and opened up for Ricky Scaggs, Ronnie Milsap and Barbara Mandrell at the old Market Square Arena here in Indianapolis as part of their prize).

I have also played in bands that have opened up for country music stars Ronnie McDowell, Hank Snow and Helen Cornelius as well as two local South side Indianapolis country legends, Tommy Oakes and Jerry Rogers. I also have two albums to my credit (country with "The Carlton-Taylor Band" and R&B with local Indianapolis band "Style").
