Since coming to Kansas City in 2003, Zack has been active in the area as a drummer, percussionist, composer/arranger, educator and adjudicator. His performance credits to date include Angela Hagenbach, The Kansas City Symphony, The Kansas City Repertory Theatre, Stan Kessler, the Boulevard Big Band, The 18th & Vine Big Band, Mark Lowrey, Shay Estes, Megan Birdsall, and his own group, The Ten String Trio (with bassist Jeff Harshbarger and guitarist Danny Embrey). He has also performed and/or recorded with regional, national and international artists such as Bobby Watson, Karrin Allyson, Mary Stallings, Dr. Art Davis, Roberto Magris, David Thorne Scott, Mark Shilansky, Jim Pisano and Ben Markley........Hailing from Santa Fe, NM, Zack began playing drums and percussion at the age of eight and studied privately with the area’s finest, Jeff Sussmann, for nearly a decade. From 1998-2000, he studied percussion with Scott Ney at the University of New Mexico. In the summer of 1999 Zack was the timpanist for the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps (Denver, CO) and won the DCI Solo Competition for Timpani......In 2000, he transferred to Ball State University in Muncie, IN to study percussion with Dr. Erwin Mueller. In 2001, he won the Ball State Orchestra Concerto Competition, performed as marimba soloist with the orchestra, and represented Ball State in a solo percussion recital at Mukogawa University in Osaka, Japan. He graduated from Ball State in 2003 with a Bachelor’s degree in Music Performance.......In the fall of 2003, Zack came to Kansas City, Missouri to study percussion with Dr. Jim Snell and jazz with Bobby Watson and Doug Auwarter at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He has since completed a Master of Music in classical percussion and a Master of Arts in jazz and studio music........Zack plays a custom Keller Maple drumset which he designed and built in 2002, and has been an Artist Endorser for Bosphorus Cymbals since 2007.
