Jean-Pierre Drouet

Jean-Pierre Drouet (born 30 October 1935) is a French multi-instrumentist percussionist and composer.

Born in Bordeaux, Drouet studied with René Leibowitz, Jean Barraqué and André Hodeir. In India, he deepened his knowledge of non-European instruments and music, such as the tabla and especially the tonbak (Persian drum) that he studied with Djamchid Chemirani [fr].

He is remarkable especially for the eclecticism and quantity of his musical production, as a performer and as a composer.
