DESCRIPTION:
Many say he is the best drummer alive. Omar's first break as a drummer came at age 16 with Patti Labelle. In 1984, Hakim did most of the drum work on Dire Straits' album Brothers in Arms. Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter on drummer Omar Hakim "I remember going to him (Omar) and humming this really complicated drum and bass programming and he's like, 'Like this?' [makes drum noises] He's doing it exactly like I hummed but like 10 times beyond. It felt like, 'Whoa! What have we been missing being limited by our own programming skills?' He probably only did two takes for that part." Notable artists he has played with are Anita Baker, Sting, Weather Report, Mariah Carey, Madonna, David Bowie, Miles Davis, Chic, Bryan Ferry, Aziza Mustafa Zadeh, Everything but the Girl, Marcus Miller, Kazumi Watanabe, Lee Ritenour, Chieli Minucci, The Rippingtons, Bobby McFerrin, and Daft Punk, among others.

While he is trying on clothes at http://www.Schuyler4.com showroom to wear at his Grammy performance with Daft Punk, Omar talks about his solo project and shares the story of how he and Daft Punk came together. Omar will be performing with daft Punk at the Grammy's and will be wearing Alberto, Haupt and Codice designs. http://mysmallstory.wordpress.com/ for over 300 New York stories.
