Chad Dunn is a multi-percussionist, drumset
player and instrument maker. He is in the tradition of musicians around
the world who customize and design their own instruments to suit their
individual playing styles. His handwoven caxixi and innovative berimbaus
are great examples of this tradition and are sought after by other percussionists.
Chad has performed with an array of artists and is in considerable
demand as a recording musician. He founded and was director of the University
of Illinois Brazilian Percussion Ensemble and continues to lecture on
Brazilian traditional and influenced drumming styles. Chad is currently
exploring improvisational music with The Nu Orbit Ensemble, performing
Brazilian Samba and Bossa Nova music with Desifinado, and collaborating
