I have been playing drums since age three. Drums became an infatuation for me right from the beginning.
My father, Nat Barouch Sr., (aka Nat Barry) was a professional drummer for thirty years. He was the band leader of the Nat Barry Trio. They played clubs such as the Playboy Club, The Sherry Frontinac, and The Diplomat on Miami Beach to name a few. My dad gave me the knowledge and desire to be the best drummer possible and because of that I will never quit. I have played just about every style of music, from Orchestral to Drum Corps, Jazz to Rock and Funk to Country.
I LOVE MUSIC…as long as I’m playing it, I’m happy.
I also marched in Drum & Bugle Corps for 7 years, including Florida Vanguard, Spirit of Atlanta, & the Concord California Blue Devils. In 1983 I won the World Championship Individual Snare Drum Competition. While I lived in California, I had a band called Justin Tyme. We toured all over the state. Justin Tyme was the band that named me DRUMMAN. They said it was because I must have been a superhero to make my hands & feet go that fast.
The name stuck!
