ALLYSON MACIVOR

Record - Tour - Mentor

Proudly endorsing

Los Cabos Drumsticks

You can call me “Al”.

Not only a musician but truly a fan of the arts, my repertoire spans from Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Scheherezade”, Broadway’s “SIX” and “Jersey Boys”, to countless North American performers both locally and across Europe.  I am always eagerly looking ahead to what's next.

Connection is everything, and there's nothing like the collaboration of recording, touring, and speaking to the agents and professionals involved. 

I am always looking to meet new people and I always welcome a "hello."  If you ever spot me at various festivals, Burning Man, Pride, and any venue in between Vancouver Island, NYC, and Germany - I'm an open book when it comes to anything percussion! I'm dedicated to inspiring, recording, performing, teaching, and contributing to the professional music industry, and I welcome you along that journey too.
