Rex Bacon is a Cleveland percussionist, Music Therapist and Drum Circle Facilitator with Rhythm Culture. He asserts, "The Trash Kat is a wonderful drum with many applications. I have used it as Pulsekeeper at large drum circles, incorporated it into my drum set and plan to use it as a Music Therapy instrument. Its unique appearance invites people to play it, and its amazing sound keeps people playing it. It is a symbol of inspiration because of its creator Kevin Reed."

Rex received his B.A. in Music Therapy from the University of Dayton in 1997. As a full time music therapist, Rex has worked in various healthcare settings including mental health center, children’s home, alternative school, and prison.

Rex has studied jazz drumming with Steve Barnes and fusion drumming with Kip Volans. Recently, he began studying drum set and djembe with Rusted Root’s drummer, Jim Donovan, including performing together at the Winterstar conference in 2004.
