Stéphane Galland (born 27 October 1969) is a Belgian jazz drummer.[1]

He got his first drumset at the age of 3. When he was 11, he started to perform with jazz musicians like Eric Legnini and Jean-Pierre Catoul. He released two albums with the Eric Legnini Trio.

In 1988, he met guitarist Pierre Van Dormael and, with a couple of musicians, they founded a jazz club in Brussels named De Kaai. At the same time they formed Nasa Na Band with Fabrizio Cassol on saxophone and Michel Hatzigeorgiou on bass. After the departure of Van Dormael and a trip to Africa, the band became Aka Moon.

Galland also plays African music (he toured with Doudou N'Diaye Rose), classical music (he played with the Liège Philharmonic Orchestra) and pop music (with Zap Mama or Axelle Red). In 2003, he toured with Joe Zawinul's Syndicate and became a member of the band.
