Torann, 7-piece drumming group, performing live during the 21st Spraoi Festival, Waterford, Ireland, 03/08/2013.

Biography

Torann Drums have been playing together since early 2002, inspired by the tradition in Waterford for street percussion started by Waterford Spraoi. With support from Spraoi, Torann Drums had somewhere to come into existence.

With so many different tastes within the group, it was, and still is, very difficult to put a genre on their sound. It doesn’t fall into the expected categories of drumming groups, with ideas and influence coming from all over. The sound has been variously described as Tribal, Rock, Techno, Celtic, Drum’n’Bass and Contempory Irish.

Over the years, the band has toured around Ireland, the UK and Poland, bringing their sound to crowds ranging in age from 1 to 100. Everyone is automatically drawn to the sound of a drum, the trick is in keeping them, and Torann Drums have learned how. Whether it’s streets at 12.30pm in a light drizzle, clubs at 2am, weddings after the meal, in front of 4 or 40,000, everyone dances, smiles and has a good time.
