Alternating between kit and an array of exotic hand drums, Todd Isler brings rich color to his quartet’s organic sound. He’s got a knack for blending Indian, African, and Brazilian rhythms into a seamless, supple jazz whole. And the multi-tracked percussion interludes are a sonic delight. Modern Drummer May ‘08

Bio
We got the name from David's wife, who was reading a bottle cap that said, "The Golden Gate bridge is painted in International Orange". That appealed to David because orange is his favorite color. The "international" part appealed to me because my drumming has taken me to Africa, India, and Brazil to study and play.
We have that thing that makes the music compelling: trust.
