Omar Hakin The Best

When Roger Linn built the first commercially available drum machine, [early 80's] giving any non-percussionist with a few bucks the ability to easily create drum loops using samples of real drums."This changed drummers' lives all over," explains Hakim. "But instead of feeling defeated by the whole trend, I decided to go my local music store, purchase a drum machine and learn how to use it." Like his first drum, Hakim learned to master the Linn Drum Machine very quickly. "I've pretty much followed the changes with electronic drumming from the 80s up until now," he says. "You've gotta stay on top of these technological changes. It's very important if you're a professional musician." "Sometimes, if people know you from rock, they think of you as a rock drummer and don't expect you to play anything else. Or, if they know you in jazz, then they typecast you as a jazz drummer," explains Hakim. "I was conscious of the fact that I didn't want people to know me as a rock drummer or a jazz drummer, but as a total musician. So I always made sure I let people know that I was about music." "I knew that setting up my career in this way was going to make my life very interesting and would keep me open-minded musically," added Hakim. "It was and is always very important to me that I expose myself to everything so that I could & can grow as a musician."
