After having played those beats for a while, he then discovered the drumming of rock legends John Bonham and Neil Peart which inspired him to push the limits of his drumming further. After having heard the rhythms of Tony Williams and the Zappa drummers, he then spent the next three years studying at the C\u00e9gep de Drummondville with Paul Brochu and Camil B\u00e9lisle. He then went on to study at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al where he got a jazz studies degree with Paul Brochu and Gilbert Fradette. Daniel also had a private lesson with Peter Erskine and participated in masterclasses with Horacio \u00ab\u00a0El Negro\u00a0\u00bb Hernandez and Dave Weckl. He has also been studying with famed jazz drummer John Riley, Dom Famularo and spent two years working on his craft with the legendary Gary Chaffee. He is currently working with Claus Hessler.<\/p>\n<p>After getting his degrees, Daniel went on to play with several bands. We\u2019ve seen him on stage with bands like Sharc\u00fct, Pawa Up First, Paul Cargnello, Alexandre D\u00e9silets, J\u00e9r\u00f4me Charlebois, Michel Donato, The Johnny Cash Show Tribute, Mahjorbidet, The Vasts, The Wildwood Family, The Preville Big Band and several others.\u00a0 He played at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the Francofolies de Montr\u00e9al, Osheaga, Woodstock en Beauce, the Festijazz de Rimouski, the Festival Franco-Ontarien d\u2019Ottawa and on Musique Plus. On top of that, Daniel writes for drumming magazines Modern Drummer and Drumhead Magazine. He also used to write for Canadian drum magazine Drums Etc.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, Daniel spends his time between playing on stage and in the studio and teaching his students.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-12&#8243;]<div class=\"edgtf-elements-holder

height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Daniel B\u00e9dard started drumming back when he was 13 years old first inspired by the punk-rock bands of the day. After having played those beats for a while, he then discovered the drumming of rock legends John Bonham and Neil Peart which inspired him to push the limits of his drumming further. After having heard the rhythms of Tony Williams and the Zappa drummers, he then spent the next three years studying at the C\u00e9gep de Drummondville with Paul Brochu and Camil B\u00e9lisle. He then went on to study at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al where he got a jazz studies degree with Paul Brochu and Gilbert Fradette. Daniel also had a private lesson with Peter Erskine and participated in masterclasses with Horacio \u00ab\u00a0El Negro\u00a0\u00bb Hernandez and Dave Weckl. He has also been studying with famed jazz drummer John Riley, Dom Famularo and spent two years working on his craft with the legendary Gary Chaffee. He is currently working with Claus Hessler. After getting his degrees, Daniel went on to play with several bands. We\u2019ve seen him on stage with bands like Sharc\u00fct, Pawa Up First, Paul Cargnello, Alexandre D\u00e9silets, J\u00e9r\u00f4me Charlebois, Michel Donato, The Johnny Cash Show Tribute, Mahjorbidet, The Vasts, The Wildwood Family, The Preville Big Band and several others.\u00a0 He played at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the Francofolies de Montr\u00e9al, Osheaga, Woodstock en Beauce, the Festijazz de Rimouski, the Festival Franco-Ontarien d\u2019Ottawa and on Musique Plus. On top of that, Daniel writes for drumming magazines Modern Drummer and Drumhead Magazine. He also used to write for Canadian drum magazine Drums Etc. Nowadays, Daniel spends his time between playing on stage and in the studio and teaching his students.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221; content_aligment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1622739298912{padding-top: 116px !important;padding-bottom: 130px !important;background-color: #f5f5f5 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text] DISCOGRAPHY [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;11px&#8221;][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5740","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/danielbedarddrums.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/danielbedarddrums.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/danielbedarddrums.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danielbedarddrums.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/danielbedarddrums.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5740"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/danielbedarddrums.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5740\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6550,"href":"https:\/\/danielbedarddrums.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5740\/revisions\/6550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/danielbedarddrums.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
