My name is William Bausch. Some know me as... Beaver. A long story involving naively sadistic parents and an obviously slow-witted child. I grew up in Newtown, CT, went to school in Ohio, lived in Boston for a year and headed to New York City. Seems I'm still here.

Anyway, I'm a drummer, mostly focused on jazz and Afro-Cuban music. I've had the good fortune to study drumming and play with some amazing folks like Donald Byrd, Allan Dawson, Enrique Plá, Ralph Peterson, Phil Bowler, Harvie S, and the late Juan Pablo Torres. I am part of a musical collective known as Grupo los Santos.

I am obsessed with music and recording technology, and have been working with DAWs since 2003. I really should be better! And I was a music teacher in NYC public schools for 26 years.
