Jyn Yates grew up in a musical family and has been rocking behind the kit from the age of three. Her father was a well-respected drummer and Jyn inherited his proclivity and enthusiasm for percussion that only grew stronger as the years went by. Studying percussion continually while in grade school, Jyn went on to make a career out of playing the drums and entered the music scene in the 1980’s. She made her stage debut at the age of thirteen, opening for Tim McGraw and The Kentucky Headhunters. Since then, she has appeared as a studio musician on countless projects, and continued her study of music and percussion at WKU and Campbellsville University. In addition, she has performed for Actor’s Theater, The Kentucky Center For The Arts, Youth performing Arts School, Center Stage, and she worked with Alvin Alley American Dance Theatre of New York. Jyn is also an esteemed drum instructor teaching drum set performance and percussion composition full-time at Mom’s Music in Louisville Kentucky.  >>Read More
