The drum community mourns the loss of our friend and brother Darrell Robinson, whose lifelong passion for family and friends was matched only by his passion for the groove. Drawing inspiration from both his upbringing in the church and the soul of his Philly surroundings, Robinson was an unstoppable drumming force lending his talent to genre-bending artists like Pharrell, N.E.R.D, Queen Latifah, Jill Scott, and many, many more. Robinson’s Impact was integral to carrying on the “Philly Soul” legacy bridging it with Motown, Funk, Rock and Hip-hop during his most fertile period from the late 1990’s and early-mid 2000’s gaining the trust of band leaders and producers at the highest levels of popular music. Robinson further gained the trust of many among his musical family to act as not only the drummer but also the Musical Director for several of the artists he worked for and this undeniable influence as a mentor and friend is shown through the work of many of today’s top drummer/musical directors, including Rashid Williams, Eric “Boots” Greene, Mike Nelson and Kareem Thompson.
