Drummer, percussionist and hammond player, Nasser Bouzida (or simply 'Naz') is a walking, talking groove machine; a disciple of the drum (a slave to the rhythm). A specialist in the delivery of the breakbeat ethos, Naz has pioneered his own double snare drum techniques and commands his bass drum triplets. He can often be found playing at "Blow up" (Wag club), the Jazz Cafe with his band Big Boss Man or playing drums in the studio for Morcheeba.
Nasser Bouzida is like a rhythmical encyclopedia. Having studied the great drummers and percussionists of the past he has a built up a huge repertoire of beats and percussion patterns. In his drum harem he has twisted all the best influences into one big drum bonanza. Check out the diversity of his sound and style, no tempo is too fast or too slow for Naz. Always learning new rhythms - from traditional Cuban patterns to D.C. Go Go Beats and east coast Hip-Hop Breaks, his appetite knows no bounds, devouring grooves with an ease that comes from years of genuine practice and discipline.
Recent projects include recording drums for Morcheeba and releasing a new Bongolian album.
