Born in Quebec, Stéphane is developing his professional career from various aspects: Educator, Clinician, Musician and Author. He remembers always being fascinated by and attracted to the drums. He studied with many professors from the Quebec City area, and at the Conservatory of Music in Quebec.
After having seen an animated drum clinic given by legendary Dom Famularo, there was no doubt that he wanted to play drums for a living, because it was his passion. He chose to organize his life for drumming work.
Since 1999, he studied (and keeps on studying) with the best drumming educators: Long Island (Dom Famularo, Jim Chapin, John Favicchia); New York (Bobby Sanabria, Billy Ward, Robby Ameen); New Jersey, (John Riley, Joe Bergamini) and Toronto (Paul DeLong, Rick Gratton, Jeff Salem).
In 2000, he was awarded a grant from Foundation CHABOU and a Merit Certificate from the Town of Quebec.

Originaire de Québec, Stéphane développe sa carrière professionnelle sous différents aspects soit en tant que Professeur, Clinicien, Musicien et Auteur. Du plus loin qu'il se rappelle, Stéphane a toujours été fasciné et attiré par la batterie. Il étudia en cours privés avec des professeurs de la région et au Conservatoire de musique de Québec.
Après avoir vue une Clinique de batterie animée par le légendaire Dom Famularo, de passage à Québec pour cet événement, il fit un choix réfléchi. La batterie était ce qu'il voulait dans sa vie; c'était sans aucun doute ce que Stephane voulait : Vivre pour jouer car c'est ce qu'il le rendait le plus heureux. Il choisit d'organiser sa vie selon son travail et non pas pour le contraire car c'était là sa passion.
Depuis 1999, il continue d'étudier avec les meilleurs professeurs de Long Island (Dom Famularo, Jim Chapin, John Favicchia), de New York (Bobby Sanabria, Billy Ward, Robby Amenn), du New Jersey (Joe Bergamini) et de Toronto (Paul DeLong, John Riley, Rick Gratton, Jeff Salem).
Gagnant d'une bourse de la Fondation Chabou et d'un Certificat au mérite de la Ville de Québec en 2000; Boursier du Conseil des Arts du Canada en tant qu'artiste professionnel dans la poursuite de son perfectionnement en 2002; Gagnant de la Bourse américaine Larrie London du Percussive Art Society (PAS) en 2003.
À l'automne 2002, il crée sa propre entreprise DrumChamber Production qui offre différents services reliés à la batterie. De plus, en association avec Dom Famularo il démarre le Wizdom DrumShed de Québec, école spécialisée de batterie. Son talent, sa dynamique et son expérience se reflètent sur sa façon d'enseigner et complémentarise sa relation élève/professeur ...

Hello, and welcome to the Russ T. Blades website! Russ is a drummer who has worked with the likes of Vince Martell (Vanilla Fudge) , Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow), and the Andrew Pearson Band. He also had his own original band, Blades. Russ has traveled to many parts of the world making music, and has produced music for the soap opera 'General Hospital.' He is a melodic player known for his groove and creating an "envelope" of sound around the band. Right now he is a involved with The Vince Martell Band.
Russ T. Blades, AKA Russell Taubner was born May 17, 1952 in Manhattan, NY approx. 5:15PM.
The 4th of 5 children, Russell was artistic and sports minded. He moved from The Bronx to Bergenfield, NJ when he was 3. Having blown out his knee when he was 8, art grew in importance.
A fan of Sam Cooke at an early age, the arrival of The Beatles was a true wake up call. They brought out his true love of music. Having come from a non-musical family, they became his musical family.
At first Russ thought of studying guitar, but drums became his instrument. Starting at age 12 he studied drums for two years with Dennis DeLuca, a brilliant marching band writer. But his refusal to teach match grip, and his less than foward look to the evolving music scene, stopped Russ from studying with him.
As with a great number of musicians, Russ continued on self-teaching himself with his ears. Studying Ringo, and Dino Danelli (Rascals), Russ played with local bands. When he was 16 he formed a Jimi Hendrix type 3-piece band with a phenomenal 15 year-old guitarist Eddie Caldron, and bassist Kevin Katzel. Playing 3-piece gave him great freedom to be creative. When Eddie got in trouble with the law, Russ continued on forming one of the area's first two lead guitar bands, called Silk.
It was through this band Russ met guitarist/singer/songwriter Rick Blakemore. Russ's belief was that the combination of drums and guitar was the basis of Rock 'n Roll's spirit. Rick and Russ shared a facination with guitarist Jeff Beck's guitar work, and would go to every show they could when Jeff was in the area. After Rick briefly filled in with Silk, Russ went on to join a band Rick was in, called Legs ...
