Suzanne Morrisette

An all around gifted drummer and percussionist, Suzanne's talents include tympani, vibraphone, marimba and xylophone. Her lifelong love of music is enhanced by formal studies at the renowned Conservatory of Music in Quebec which provided a broad-based knowledge of music in general with in-depth understanding of the role of percussion.
