Pascal Delaquis is a studio and touring drummer from Canada. He learned on pots and pans; a practice that has evolved into his present-day inquiries in tone and sound. With a passion for percussive textures and deep grooves, Pascal has collaborated on acclaimed studio albums, including Little Scream's Speed Queen (Merge Records). His musical expressions have also found resonance on the road, notably alongside Juno award-winning Elisapie, across North America and Europe.

From a show at Raw Sugar cafe in Ottawa. There is something quite unique about small and intimate shows; that feeling simply does not exist in larger venues.

Thean Slabbert (Bosveld) and I had put together a set for Drone Day. We devised a minimalist setup with live processing.

The room was full of light and spring was coming. Just on the outskirts of Paris, we were at the legendary Lafrette Studios recording Mehdi Cayenne's album Radio Batata.

This was during a recording session for Sheenah Ko's album Nowhere In Time. Have I told you I love drumming?
