JAMES VAN MINNEN (AKA The Steady Tiger) is an accomplished professional drummer and percussionist. Apart from becoming fluent on drums playing contemporary Western music, his passion and focus has always been with ethnomusicology, honouring the ancient modalities of music, and finding opportunities to express these elements in settings where ordinary people from modern day life can tap into and access the deeper contemplation and healing that comes with exposure to these sounds and rhythms.

Thus, natural environment field recordings and performances have become a focus, with current work including a recent series of performances in a cave and on a boat on the South African coastline, along with recorded and live whale song. (documentary soon to be released). He has appeared on many recordings and stages in SA and abroad and was the author of The Cave Project recording in collaboration with Rootspring Music in 2017. James also teaches drums and percussion in person and online, with a mindful and holistic focus.
