The official website of Scott Dean the Australian drummer. View the photo gallery, download mp3 files, browse the gig list, sign the guest book, etc and learn more about Scott Dean, his musical philosophies and his fusion band “Indaba”.
When I read my "Baby book" that my parents had prepared for me,
it said that at the age of three years old I was humming all
the guitar solos to the music they would play on the radio etc.
I guess it started way back then. I have always had an intense
passion for music, but gladly i didn't pursue the guitar..haha
My brother and I recieved our first drumkit in about 1978.
With brotherhood comes competitiveness, and we both pushed
each other to improve and out-play the other.
My brother, Trent Bryson-Dean is an amazing drummer now by any standard.
Anyways, we destroyed our first drumkit pretty quickly, leaving me
to play many an hour on a beanbag we had in our loungeroom,
whilst listening to music such as Led Zeppelin or the Police
with headphones on.
We finally got another drumkit in about 1983. What a wait that was!
I had figured many things out without a drumkit and things came
very naturally to me on my new blue Tama Swingstars.
Two years of hard practice and I was in my first Rock N' Roll band.
I haven't looked back ever since!
At first I was totally a rock pig, but my entire idea of the drums
changed when i heard the Chick Corea album "Inside Out".
Dave Weckl's playing was something i had never experienced
and I was forever destined to be a fusion musician after hearing "Inside Out" ...

Mike Portnoy is the acclaimed drummer of Dream Theater as well as various side-projects such as Liquid Tension Experiment, TransAtlantic and O.S.I.
Mike's long list of Awards include 21 Modern Drummer Magazine Reader's Poll Awards including: 2004 Hall of Fame Inductee, Best Progressive Rock Drummer (10 years in a row!!), Best Clinician (twice), Best Educational Video/DVD for Liquid Drum Theater, and Best Recorded Performance of the Year (5 times) for Dream Theater's Awake, A Change of Seasons, Falling Into Infinity, Scenes From A Memory, and Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence.
As anybody who knows me personally would tell you, I am the walking definition of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder..... I always have been and probably always will be...
This curse for me means that when I "get into" something, I can't just casually enjoy it.... I become obsessed with every aspect of it.... If I discover a band that I like, I must go out and get their entire catalog. If I see a film I like, I must go out and see every film that the director has made...and even worse, collect the director's entire body of work for my video, laser & DVD library...
This behavior has not only driven my wife Marlene crazy, but has forced us into building a huge library/ "Dream Theater museum" seperately from the rest of my house so nobody gets hurt! : )
As anybody who has interviewed me would tell you, I would rather spend my time discussing & promoting other bands or films than talking about myself or Dream Theater....(How DT or my record company continue to let me be the band's main spokesman is still beyond me!!!) : )
What this part of my web-site provides is a real look into my biggest interests:
Film, Boxing and of course, Music....(and a few other things for good measure)
Some of you may read through these lists and say "you know, I could care less about this crap!"....but that's OK with me; because of my OCD, I had fun compiling these lists....even if only for myself! ...

Sessions drummer.
Not only is Victor one of the best sessions drummers there is, he also does song writing and music production too!
I discovered this talented musician when Dave Gahan came out with his solo cd "Paper Monsters". I saw them in concert and was amazed at how much fun Victor seems to have when he is performing. Then I caught him on an old Saturday Night Live show with Beck. Man this guy can play! So I started listening to some of the cds he has appeared on. I discovered all kinds of good music. If you have not heard of Victor check out my other pages.
Be sure to check out the Discography page to see the wide variety of music he has done.I bet you will find some very familiar artists!

Kenny Aronoff is one of the most in-demand and influential drummers in rock music. He has worked with many of the world's top artists including The Rolling Stones, The Smashing Pumpkins, John Mellencamp, Alanis Morissette, Bob Seger, Melissa Etheridge, Jon Bon Jovi, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Michelle Branch, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Bonnie Raitt, John Fogerty, Joe Cocker, Mick Jagger, Alice Cooper, Meat Loaf, Avril Lavigne and many others. With a style of playing that combines power and finesse, Kenny was named the #1 Pop/Rock Drummer and the #1 Studio Drummer for five consecutive years by the readers of Modern Drummer Magazine, and in addition has played on over 30 Grammy-nominated recordings.
Growing up in Massachusetts, Kenny joined his first band at age ten. At the time a self-taught drummer, he played in local bands throughout junior high and high school. At sixteen, he decided to focus on classical music, and began to study seriously with members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He went on to study at the University of Massachusetts and at Indiana University, where, among other honors, he was awarded the school's prestigious Performer's Certificate. During the summers, he participated in the Aspen and Tanglewood Music Festivals.
After graduating from Indiana University in 1976, Kenny passed on offers of timpani positions in both the Jerusalem and Quito, Equador symphony orchestras and decided to head for the East Coast where he studied drum set in Boston and New York. During this time he began to concentrate on jazz and fusion music, and in 1977 he returned to Bloomington, Indiana and spent several years in a popular local band, playing throughout the Midwest. In 1980 he joined the John Mellencamp band, recording 10 albums and touring with him over a 17-year period. Kenny's innovative style and solid backbeat became the driving force behind Mellencamp's long run of definitive hit records in the '80's and '90s, a list that includes "American Fool", "Scarecrow", "Uh Huh", "The Lonesome Jubilee", "Whenever We Wanted", "Dance Naked", "Big Daddy", "Human Wheels" and others ...
