Aside from his intensive percussion training, Luc found a love for jazz and began examining the world of jazz and swing with Craig  Owens, guitar/jazz instructor at Wichita State and founder of the Bodo Ensemble (http://www.bodoensemble.com/). Shortly thereafter, Luc began playing vibraphone with the Bodo ensemble on occasion. Luc also plays drums for Natoma (http://natomajazz.blogspot.com/), a jazz fusion group performing everything from George Gershwin to George Benson, percussion for Broken (http://www.brokentheband.net), and lead pan for The Calyptones, a steel pan quartet.

Other than playing for steady bands, Luc works for two different churches as a drummer and pianist as well as working as a freelance drummer/percussionist, studio musician, a substitute with the Wichita Symphony Orchestra (http://www.wso.org/), and educator. Four days a week, Luc serves as primary drum instructor at Damm Music Center (http://www.dammmusic.com/) teaching everything from snare drum, to drum set, to Afro-Cuban percussion.

Luc is extremely excited about being involved with such a wonderful group of people who love music as much as he does. All the other Rain members agree that it’s great to have an energetic, talented young guy in the group. But how does Luc like it?  “It’s cool to play  with these old guys. It leaves all the young babes for me!”
