Paul Hannah has been playing professionally since the age of sixteen. Born into a musical family and growing up in Las Vegas, NV, he had the honor of learning his craft from the legendary drummers and percussionists of Vegas – Jerry Gilgor, Tommy Check, Leo Camera, Roger Rampton, Walfredo de los Reyes, Mark Barnett, John Abraham, Howard Agster and others. Paul’s father, Don Hannah, was an arranger who worked with everyone that performed on the Strip and downtown Las Vegas. Paul learned much of his craft on the bandstands of Vegas via the apprentice system - observing the masters at work, asking questions and learning from the players that originated the music he loves.

Paul attended the New England Conservatory of Music as a student of Vic Firth and attained the prestigious Artist’s Diploma from the Hartt School of Music studying with Alexander Lepak. Paul also studied drums with Alan Dawson and mallets with master NYC session percussionist Dave Carey.
