Damon Atkinson is an American drummer. He replaced Roy Ewing as the drummer of Braid[1] in 1997 and stayed in the band until it disbanded in 1999. His playing style is often noted for being heavy on complex time signatures, sometimes going into polyrhythmic territory.[2]
After Braid parted ways he went on to be the drummer for Hey Mercedes[3] with Todd Bell and Bob Nanna. After that band broke up, Atkinson and Nanna formed Certain People I Know in 2009, release four songs under that name in June 2009.[4][5][6]
