Fabien Rault alias Beuh-fa (Montelimar, 1983) plays drums in French metallers Kaizen. He joined the band in 2005, replacing previous skinsman Laurent Caradec.



Fabien Rault started playing percussion at eight, and has been playing drums seriously since 2000:

"I started to make music in bands with friends (like many people), play concerts and have fun, but nowadays he would like to try to make my place between very good drummers."

He received lessons from Jean Christophe Besnard at the conservatoire d’arts dramatiques in Chatou, from Jean-Marc Lajudie, Jean-luc Bernard and from Emmanuel Dugué at the Centre des Arts Vivants, Paris.



Though Fabien Rault bashes the skins for metalcore outfit Kaizen, he names reggae music as his greatest source of inspiration:

"I am always trying to translate this type of playing in lots of music styles. I also like bands such as bands like Coal Chamber for metal, Israel Vibration for reggae, DJ Krush for the trip-hop groove, and others…"

No surprise Rault also plays with Kdb (Kazba Doum Beuh-fa, reggae) and Le Clou Tordu (rock & punk). Previously he played with Balbutiements (metal), $lum$ (hardcore) and Kazba (roots reggae).



Despite his experience, Fabien Rault is still trying to pmprove his skills, practice a lot, record and tour. At the moment of writing, August 2005, Rault is continuing to perform at shows with bands and practicing drums harder. Comments the drummer about his future plans:

"For the moment we’re mastering the maxi with my rock & roll’s band, and in september, I’ll record a reggae album for KDB (Kazba Doum Beuh-fa). What's more: the Kaizen tour is in preparation, so I'll be quite busy the rest of 2005."
