As long as Gorden Campbell remembers, he's been playing drums. Born in New Haven, Conn. and raised in Newburgh, New York, Gorden began playing drums at the age of 5 in his grandfather's church. He started taking formal lessons in elementary school and continued thru college (Howard University) earning a bachelor's degree in music with a major in Jazz studies. During those informative years, Gorden was able to perform in various marching bands, gospel choirs, orchestras, percussion ensembles and jazz ensembles while still playing in church where he also started playing the organ.
