             Unlike most solo acts, I began my career as a drummer, studying music in school as part of an award-winning percussion ensemble and taking private lessons. I started drumming professionally before I could drive a car and continued playing them in bands until I began my solo career in 1982. In 1965 my father, a professional musician himself, gave me the classic set of red sparkle Ludwigs pictured here, which can still be heard on many of the backing tracks I use on stage.  |
