About Jim Donovan
Jim Donovan is a professional drummer and percussionist, a recording artist, writer, teacher and lecturer. He is best known as the former drummer and one of the founding members of the band Rusted Root. He is also the author of the book Drum Circle Leadership: Learn to Create and Lead Your Own Transformational Drum Circles.
His insights have been shaped by his studies in African rhythms with various master drummers such as Congolese master drummer Elie Kihonia, Mamady Keita and Mbemba Bangoura. He also studied African music with noted scholar Kwabena Nketia from Ghana.
Jim, who teaches world music and drumming at St. Francis University, started writing songs for a solo project in 2010 and debuted the Sun King Warriors in 2016, sounding more like Led Zeppelin than his former group.
