Yonrico Scott
American drummer and percussionist (1955–2019) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yonrico Scott (October 6, 1955 – September 19, 2019) was an American drummer and percussionist.[1][2] He was a longtime member of the Grammy winning The Derek Trucks Band, became a bandleader of his own ensemble, the Yonrico Scott Band, and later worked with the Royal Southern Brotherhood, with Cyril Neville. Having developed his craft not only from years of session work, roadwork, and study, the Cape Cod Times proclaimed him "a standout in the band... whose strong beats powered songs such as 'I'll Find My Way' off the group's Songlines CD".[3]
