Lemuel D. Williams is from Portland,Maine but grew up in the hood of Montbello, located in Denver, Colorado. He was influenced by his mother who formerly sang as one of the Alto backup vocalist for the legendary Gladys Knight. Lemuel (who prefers to be called Lem) began playing the drums at the age of three without any training. Shortly after picking up his first pair of drumsticks, Williams started playing for his grandfather’s church, Greater Mount Olive. As he will point out: singing is in his genes, but drumming is in his blood. Motivated by his favorite drummers, he quickly learned how to play drums by ear. This skill propelled him into his craft and made him the energetic drummer he is today. His nickname, the “Drummagician,” was given to him by members of his audience.
Over the next several years, Williams enjoyed a myriad of drumming opportunities. His talent has taken him to Canada, Arizona, Chicago, Atlanta, New York, Wyoming, and many other states and provinces to play for different artists. He enjoys a very busy performing schedule as well as being the Drum Instructor at MSU/DIME Denver. He is currently involved in many different music scenes, such as jazz, rhythm and blues, soul, pop, gospel, cumbia, funk, pop, latin, theater and countless others. He has played for National Recording Artists such as Chante Moore, ReSurface, Dee Lucas, and Tony Exum Jr., Warren G,Talib Kwali and Flava Flave. He is currently the drummer for Jyemo Club (whom they have recently played RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATER in Morrison,CO), Bryce Merritt out of Nashville, Sax Artist Monique Brooks Roberts, Music Lab and his new home church Restoration Christian Fellowship. He also plays for several local artists including Class Acts (his own band), Last Chapter, Sheryl Renee, Michael Williams, We's Us and several others. He has previously played for local artists including: Taylor Scott Band, Public Safety,Soul School, Men of Faith Gospel Quartet, Lenny Kravitz Tribute Band, Altune & The Kool Kompany, Kollaboration, Rising Star Baptist, Now Faith Church to name a few.
A small compilation of his videos can be found on this site, however, a full collection of his videos are on his YouTube channel (link below). Be sure to check him out performing “Brickhouse” by The Commodores which won him the title of the #1 drummer in the Mountain Region for the Zildjian Drummer Love Contest in 2011. This earned him a feature article in DRUM! Magazine.
Lem Williams is always professional, timely, easy to work with, and prepared. His main keys to success are "1. Answer the phone 2. Request the music 3. LEARN THE MUSIC VERBATIM “Learn the skeleton of the song, before you add flesh.”
and 4. BE ON TIME! He is always ready for the opportunity to do more, play more, and learn more. He is passport ready and waiting for your call.
On this day, I officially became the new Drum Professor at Metro State College in the D.I.M.E. program.
This band was just to immature and wanted to go on Vacations instead of tour. I became the father of the trip and the drummer. These guys didnt want to practice properly and enjoy drinking more than being professinal.I lost over 600 bucks with this band on 1 tour and did 2 tours with them. Imagine that. I had to leave, but good luck to them.
Finally the tour is here. Were hitting a lot of cities so i hope you follow me on Instagram as well. Very excited and most of all well rehearsed and ready. See you on tour!
IF YOU ENJOY MY PLAYING AND THE BANDS I PLAY FOR BE SURE TO BE ACTIVE ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA SITES AND I WILL PICK 1 RANDOM FAN AND GIVE THEM A FREE TICKET TO ANY UPCOMING SHOW OF MINE WITHIN THE MONTH. HOPE ITS YOU!!!

I have recently stopped playing with 3 bands. I had to open myself up for better and more unique oppertunities. Stay tuned as I am currently getting ready to play for a newer band and a little more ROCK!
A lot of you have been asking but to answer you all, I DO NOT PLAY WITH THE TONY EXUM BAND anymore. This is the only place you can get the real story from me. Here on my website. But Tony Exum admittedly did not value me as a drummer and I refuse to play for ANYONE that does not. It was TIME 2 GO.
I enjoyed my 4yr run with this band and i take nothing for granted with them. I was a team player, I helped with money, i voulunteered for many things just to help out.etc... It was time to move on. Lets just say people get what they deserve.
So excited to be with a new band. I am no longer with the Taylor Scott Band and im very grateful.
With this new band we already have several things going on. 2 tours in 2018 to the East and West Coast that i couldnt be more excited for. So many things in the works including a new album with this band. Stay tuned for much much more .
June 1st the Taylor Scott Band will be competing in the HARD ROCK RISING COMPETITION against 3 other local bands for $50k and a trip to Spain to perform. THIS IS HUGE NEWS PEOPLE! Be there at the Hardrock Cafe to support Lem and the band. Support Support Support.
The Taylor Scott Band goes back on tour. Playing music for the next 18 days in a row! This is not only news but GREAT news. Be sure to subscribe to Lem's YouTube channel and follow him on INSTAGRAM, TWITTER and FACEBOOK for exclusive videos and photos of the TSB Tour (click the icons at the lower left corner of this website).
Lem Williams became the #1 drummer in the mountain region and got a write up in DRUM! magazine. #nowthatsnews
Played for the AMAZING National Rocording Artist Chante Moore
Mapex is Lem Williams favorite drum company. On this day he was called and given the deal. Rupps Pro Drum shop also sponsors him.
While checking his email BLANK STICKS sent Lem an annomous email with interest in representing their drum sticks. Nothing like a great stick deal.
Trexist Cymbals is a great company with great sounding cymbals. Artist relations not only loved Lem Williams' playing but also realized they share the same name. They both new it was a perfect fit and endorsed him as well as feature him on their website. GO CHECK IT OUT!
