Voted the best drummer in music three years in a row by the CMA, Eddie Bayers originally started as a classical pianist, studying Bach, Beethoven and Mozart. The son of a career military man, Bayers moved around as a child, spending equal time in Nashville, Oakland and Philadelphia. After a stint playing in a New Jersey show band and working at San Francisco-based Fantasy records in the late '60s, Bayers finally decided to call Nashville home, becoming the house keyboard player at Jimmy Hyde's Carousel Club. While playing at the club, Bayers also began doing sessions at Audio Media Studios. It was there that he began to emerge as a top notch session drummer, playing on records by Tanya Tucker, John Denver, Ricky Skaggs and George Strait among others. Bayers has begun producing as well, working on Rosanne Cash's Interiors album as well as the soundtrack for A Thing Called Love.

"I have to tell you that I went to my ear doctor 2 weeks ago, and I haven't been to see him in over 2 years, and as you can imagine, after being in the studio for 28 years, when he checked my hearing back then, he confirmed the loss I suffered from those years. When he checked my hearing this time, it's exactly where it was 2 years ago, with no more loss. We both contributed it to the Studio Kans. He mentioned that he was going to buy a pair for himself."

"The Studio Kans have increased my performance by 50%. I wish I had them for the previous 25 years I've been recording"
