Brann Dailor is a drummer, best known as a member of Mastodon, a heavy metal band based in Atlanta, Georgia.

His fill-heavy drumming style is influenced by jazz and prog-rock. He has stated in interviews that his favourite albums are Stevie Wonder's Innervisions and Genesis' The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. His drumming has been receiving acclaim as Mastodon has become more well-known, and he performed at the Modern Drummer Festival 2006. Dave Grohl is a fan of the band and praised Brann's skill as a drummer highly. Before forming Mastodon, he and fellow Mastodon member Bill Kelliher were members of the Rochester-based band Lethargy, and they played on the album In the Eyes of God by Today Is the Day.

He is married to Susanne Gibboney, guitarist and singer of Lust, drummer of Catfight, and bassist of Tiger!Tiger! and has an obsession with Randy Rhoads (late lead guitarist with Ozzy Osbourne) and has a drum kit with a picture of Rhoads on the bass drum with the drum sets colour scheme being black with white spots - after Rhoads' famous guitar.
