“By the age of twenty he was jetting off to work as a drummer…His reputation led to his inking several major endorsement deals with the top names in the music industry, including Yamaha Drums. At twenty-one, Ken Lingad’s professional relationships included some of the biggest names in the music business.”— Daniel Gibson - Editor, "Native Peoples" MagazineToday, Ken Lingad enjoys a unique position at the forefront of the music industry, as both Business Executive and Performer. Based on the Music industry's third coast—Nashville, Tennessee—he reimagined Bluegrass rhythms for legendary artist Rodney Dillard as a member of The Dillards and has contributed his distinctive sound to several live and recorded music artists and projects, including Swedish mega-talent Maxida Märak. Currently, Lingad occupies the drummer’s throne and Native American percussionist duties for GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Bill Miller and other talents.A noted pioneer in progressive marching percussion education, Lingad remains a historic figure in the development of the modern marching ensemble idiom in the Southwest at the competitive collegiate and drum and bugle corps-levels, respectively. Lingad was instrumental in the final design of the world's most popular line of marching bass drum mallets: the original :Corpsmaster" by Vic Firth, after actively field-testing several prototypes with the championship drum lines under his direction. As a Yamaha Performing Artist and Clinician, Ken Lingad was particularly involved in the research, design, and development of Yamaha's Sfz line of marching snare drums.
