Bleu Ocean is a dynamic percussionist, producer and arranger.  He makes things happen musically.  "Drumming is in my blood.  I was born a drummer and play all kinds of hand drums as well.  I like studio work and I have no problem picking up the feeling and adjusting to all the stylistic whims of various musicians.  It's fun and it's challenging.  I play acoustic drums, drum synthesizers, timpani, congas, and many other percussion instruments.  During my years of studio work, recording and concert experience I have worked with many bands.  It would be easy for me to give you a list of names but instead I will say this, I have worked with the best and I'm open to working with anyone that plays music that is in good taste."  Bleu performed for CBS records and Pink Floyd's "The Wall" & "Bring The Boys Back Home" albums.  Keep on rockin'.
