Darren Williams Jr

I give a 3 point talk on how to reach your dreams. As well as opening and closing with 3-5 songs to display my drumming and also for entertainment. During the "talk", there will be time for Q&A as well. I'm a very laid back type of person, and when I speak, I speak in a very laid back manor. Also, I like to make people laugh a bit :)

Darren Williams Jr was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of 8 months with the prognosis of being told that he would never walk and be limited to at best and electric wheelchair. With being taught a no quit attitude from day one, and what the help of different family members and loved ones, began his percussion and drum set Journey at the age of 8 years old. Has since expanded his repertoire in musical palette, including symphonic bands and orchestras, drumming in theater settings, jazz, funk, hip-hop/r&b, and gospel settings, and marching band settings.

Today, Darren Williams jr, better known as the Handidrummer, continues to dedicate his career not only to creating drum set covers and drumming videos for social media, as well as a session drummer for recording sessions, an accomplished clinician. But now with the main mission of inspiring anyone and everyone that will listen that anything can be done no matter what the obstacle.
