Ken Shorley

I’m Ken Shorley, a Canadian percussionist, producer, composer and educator.

I offer online frame drum courses through my Podia site, as well as free tutorials in rhythm, drumming and percussion through my YouTube channel. I am also an instructor in world drumming and gamelan at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada.

As a percussionist, I’m honoured to perform in a number of amazing projects, including with the ASHK Ensemble, with world jazz songwriter/sarangi player Sahara Jane, and with OMBAK, Atlantic Canada’s professional gamelan ensemble.

I also create cinematic, downtempo electronic music under the artist name, Zhorli.

Thanks for stopping by! Please get in touch if you’d like to talk about rhythm, drumming, percussion, beatmaking, Ableton Live, Indian music, or the best way to make coffee.
