Born in Jamaica, Dyrol Randall has been the drummer of choice for such bands as the legendary Mighty Diamonds and Sister Carol.

At thirteen, he started playing at a church and later received his first professional level training at Herbert Morrison Technical High School in Monetgo Bay, a cradle for several of Jamaica’s leading internationally renowned musicians.

While Dyrol is versatile in any genre, he quickly adopted roots reggae drumming as his specialty, quickly gaining a following as one of the top drummers in the Montego Bay area. His mentors included Mr. Peter Brown, a 7-string bass player, who taught him to “hold the groove together and let the music glide through the soul”’ Isaiah “Onie” Palmer, a well-regarded reggae bass player who taught him how to “cut the hi-hat (cymbal) for proper accents and phrases with off-time beats”; and Tony “Ruption” Williams, the drummer for Third World, who taught him “how to draw a positive vibration from the instrument and communicate it to the audience.”
