Jerome Douglas Cooper (December 14, 1946 – May 6, 2015) was an American free jazz musician.[1] In addition to trap drums, Cooper played balafon, chirimia and various electronic instruments, and referred to himself as a "multi-dimensional drummer," meaning that his playing involved "layers of sounds and rhythms".[2] AllMusic reviewer Ron Wynn called him "A sparkling drummer and percussionist... An excellent accompanist".[3] Another Allmusic reviewer stated that "in the truest sense this drummer is a magician, adept at transformation and the creation of sacred space".[4]
