Master studio, live drummer, and solo artist Gregg Bissonette has played with beloved rock, jazz & pop artists. Browse his discography, gear, projects, tours, drum lessons & even get Gregg recording with you! Gregg was born on June 9th, 1959, in Detroit Michigan USA. His mom and dad are both musicians.....his dad Bud Bissonette plays drums (and now has been Gregg's in town LA drum tech for recording sessions and live gigs since 1989,) and his mom Phyllis plays piano and vibes. They used to have a band that played around Detroit, and now live in Los Angeles. Gregg has a younger brother named Matt , and a younger sister named Kathy.
Gregg started playing on his dad's drums at about age 5. His dad was his first teacher ...showing him various ideas on the drums set. He started taking private rudimental snare drum lessons at age 10 with a local teacher in Warren Michigan named Bob Yarborough. Bob also started Gregg on reading drum set music at age 11. He also started taking private trumpet lessons at the same age from Jim Ruffner.
In the Warren Michigan Wildwood Elementary School Band he would trade off
between drums and trumpet. His trumpet hero was always Maynard Ferguson.
Gregg had a great desire to play drums for Maynard's band someday. (This wish came true in 1982, after graduation from North Texas State University, when Gregg became the drummer for Maynard Ferguson's Big Band, which already included his brother Matt on bass.)
At age 14 in junior high school, Gregg started a band with Matt called "Today's People" (wow...how 70's!!!!) This band was inspired by their jr. high stage band or jazz band under the direction of Jerry Hasspatcher, who was also a drummer. The band members were Gregg on drums, Matt on bass, Lee Ann Herold on guitar, Carl Munteen on sax and flute, Burt Snover on trombone, and one of their best pals who lived down the street from them on Shady Drive, Jeff
Trax on trumpet ...

My name is Eric Olson and I am 21 years old. I have been playing drums for roughly 12 years. My home base is Boston and I have played session on many projects from pop to jazz to rock some of which are listed in the about section of this page.
I play every and any style possible. My most recent project was a pop band called the Greg Schuler Band which I played in along with playing in the rock band thirdshift. However, I have played in 16 piece jazz bands, in power pop trios, in a punk band, and I have recorded with many bands of many styles.
In the music section of the page I have listed various projects I have played in and some links to the most recent mp3s. Please contact me if you think I can be of use to you in a session project or if you are in need of a drummer for a band ...

The official web site of drummer Jon "bermuda" schwartz.
Bermuda has been the drummer with "Weird Al" Yankovic
since 1980, and is seen and heard on all of Weird Al's albums,
videos, and concert and television performances.
Born in Chicago in 1956, drums came into Jon's family from Wm. Ludwig Jr. as a gift to Jon's older brother in return for some advertising work their father did for the drum company. After a family move to Phoenix, Arizona, Jon inherited the kit and began taking formal lessons in 1965. He also listened and played along to the radio hits of the day, as well as albums including everything from Gene Krupa to Elvis, Latin orchestras, and especially the Beatles.
Another family move took the Schwartzes to Los Angeles in 1968, and it was then that Jon decided to be a professional drummer. He continued to take lessons, joined his school's advanced band class and a local junior marching band, and later drummed in a precision marching band where he brushed up on his rudiments. In high school, Jon was in the theater arts band playing for school productions of the Music Man, Hello Dolly, My Fair Lady and The Sound Of Music, and had even managed to join another high school's stage band for a semester.
Other early accomplishments include Jon's first recording session (at age 13) with studio guitarist Al Casey, playing with youth orchestras, performing at California state and national junior band competition finals, teaching beginning and intermediate students, and his first group (formed in 1971) winning the 1974 L.A. County Battle of the Bands at the Hollywood Bowl. And some of the home recordings made by Jon and fellow school band members received airplay on the Dr. Demento show, which would later lead to a turning point in Jon's career.
By his late teens, Jon already had a good feel for working with other musicians in a variety of situations and musical styles. 1975-76 were quiet drumming-wise, and Jon attended a local college, left home, and landed in retail management for about a year until he joined his first top-40 band in 1977. Jon was beginning to live his dream and make a living playing drums. The band had a steady 6-night a week gig and worked together for over a year, and Jon started to pursue other groups and session work ...
