Born in Louisiana as Leon Chancler, he is now widely known by a
single name, his adopted "Ndugu". He has appeared on the
some of the greatest pop albums of all time, including Michael Jackson's
Thriller, in many capacities: session drummer, percussionist, producer,
co-producer, writer, instrumentalist and vocalist. Possibly Ndugu's
greatest asset is his impeccable, seemingly metronomic timing. A
rare drummer, he grasps the whole musical picture beyond his instrument.
