Bryan Cooper is a versatile musician, primarily playing drums, cajon, percussion and some electric bass in the South Jersey/Philadelphia market.

Bryan also plays some electric bass, rhythm guitar, and keyboard, and has even penned a few original songs. He is also experienced in live audio, sound-cueing, recording, and stage lighting.
