Yes, he's a drummer. Yes, there's a beat. Yes, it's quite a beat. Yes, it's different. And yes, that describes The Junkman (percussionist Donald Knaack) and his Junk Music ;.

Band/artist history
Donald Knaack (aka The Junkman) travels to the beat of a different drummer. As a conservatory-trained percussionist who has been a member of the Louisville Orchestra and the Buffalo Philharmonic and a studio percussionist and drummer in the studios of Hollywood, he now exclusively composes-for and performs-on junk and recycled materials. And it's called Junk Music and its a unique collection of infectious grooves and musical styles that's gaining audiences from every spectrum of the music business - from rock to jazz to world music. Impossible to categorize, worldwide audiences are recognizing Junk Music is eye-opening, provocative and entirely new.
