Casey Bond loves having fun with a drum- and she wants you to have fun, too! She’s a perennial favorite at belly dance and music festivals, including The Atlantic Antic, Art of the Belly, Queensboro Dance Festival, NYC Dance Parade, LES Greek Jewish Festival, NYCairo, NEATS (North East American Tribal Style) Camp, Super Fun Dance Camp, Caramoor Outdoors, Rakkasah East, Spring Caravan, The Cloister’s Medieval Festival, Golden Fest, and Philadelphia Folk Song Society’s Spring Thing. She’s currently taking a break from teaching weekly drum classes, but is acknowledged as a seasoned teaching professional, having taught weekly classes on Long Island and in NYC from 2006-2020. She’s the founder/artistic director for the Raq Steady student percussion ensemble, with some of her original drum compositions featured on her CD Raq Steady: Greatest Hits Volume One.

Casey is proud to lead the percussion section for some of NYC's coolest bands, performing regularly with Carmine & Friends, Scott Wilson & Efendi and The Elias Ladino Ensemble. She’s featured on Scott Wilson’s CD Live from Jebon, available on Amazon Music. (And watch for a soon-to-be-released CD from the Elias Ladino Ensemble!)
