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]
