Roy Cecil Knapp (October 26, 1891 - June 16, 1979) was an American drummer and music educator. Known as "The Dean of American Drum Teachers", he founded the Roy C. Knapp School of Percussion in 1938. He was a longtime network orchestra member and sought-after studio musician skilled as a tympanist, percussionist and xylophone soloist. He performed on shows broadcast during radio's golden age in Chicago, Illinois and was a founding member of the National Association of Rudimental Drummers (N.A.R.D.), which was formed in 1933.
