Bob, another product of the USA and an East Coast transplant, has played mostly rock’n’roll and some funk and soul for 40 years. He’s played everything from The Who to Hendrix to The Temptations. Throughout the years he’s played in many original rock bands too. From 1976 to 1983 he played music full-time, mostly with a Motown and rock band. Although not a huge Motown fan he said learning how to play really improved his rock playing. That’s when he said he learn how to play ‘in the pocket’.

Bob’s influences include Keith Moon, Ginger Baker of Cream, Mitch Mitchell of Jimi Hendrix, Bill Bruford and Alan White of Yes, Ian Paice of Deep Purple, Neil Peart of Rush, John Bonham of Led Zeppelin and others. He said the most amazing drummer he ever saw was Buddy Rich.

Bob, like Chris, is also a sound engineer. He ran sound for awhile for some big rock bands. Like Who-Dunnit he’s always been into recording the bands he plays with, as he finds that recording and listening to rehearsals helps him tremendously. Bob had hoped to have a 20 piece drumset like Keith had, and now with his new Tama drum kits and his stunning Spirit Of Lilly Kit he does!!!!
