We met up with Cliff Almond during his soundcheck with the Wayne Krantz Trio and got his feedback on the new Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple Drums, Cliffs drums of choice.

When Cliff was 20 years old he began corresponding with then Chick Corea Drummer Dave Weckl. Weckl then heard Cliff play at a drum clinic sound check and was kind enough to recommend Cliff to pianist Michel Camilo a few weeks later. Cliff landed the Camilo gig in New York and moved to the city when he was 21 years old.

Since that time, Cliff has remained busy in New York City in a number of styles and continues to tour and perform in the city with various artists. The roster of musicians he has performed/recorded with over the years includes such artists as Anthony Jackson, Will Lee, Jeff Berlin, Jimmy Johnson, Janek Gwizdala, Bunnie Brunell, John Pattitucci, Mike Stern, John Tropea, Chuck Loeb, Tom Scott, Michael Brecker, Chris Potter, Ronnie Cuber, Paquito D'Rivera, Lou Marini, Dave Binney, George Young, Dave Valentine, Lew Soloff, John Faddis, Clark Terry, Terrance Blanchard, Akiko Yano, Hikaru Utada, Quruli, Billy Childs, Michel Camilo, Leon Pendarvis, The Manhattan Transfer, Celia Cruz, Trey Anestasio, Tito Puente, Alex Acuna, Giovanni Hildago, Eddie Palmieri, Wayne Krantz, Pete Mcann, Bashiri Johnson, Alex Acuna, Jeff Golub, and many more.
