Richard Kass is a professional drummer born and raised in Scotland, UK. He has played for many high-profile artists including The Wanted, Sugababes, Somi, Grammy Nominee Muhsinah, Southern Tenant Folk Union, John Etheridge, Carrie Mac, Haftor Medboe Group and many more.[1][2][3][4]

Richard is currently a full-time member of the critically acclaimed Trio HSK, Pthronk pioneers Thunkfish Electronica act Homework and Jazz/Fusion group The Discordian Trio. He is due to perform with Cory Henry from Snarky Puppy in July 2015 at Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival.[5][6][7]

Kass has been described as "an increasingly in demand session player, and technical wizard"[8] and 'undoubtedly a rising star in the Scottish Jazz scene'[9] he has also received equal praise for his playing in the electronica scene:

"Homework have to be seen live to appreciate how busy their drummer is. Close your eyes – there’s a rock-steady but nuanced groove; open them – his hands are all over the kit, leaving no tom or cymbal feeling lonely. To do this without sounding horribly overindulgent takes some skill and confidence."[10]
