Blue Coupe

When I was a teen I had a band with my brother Joe. In college I formed a band with Don Roeser that became Blue a–yster Cult. I left BOC in 1982 and worked as session musician and musical director for oldies acts. I also went back to college got my BA in music and MA in English Literacy. In 2008 I formed a band with brother Joe, and Alice Cooper bass player, Dennis Dunaway, called Blue Coupe. In 2016 President Obama honored me at the White House as an outstanding educator. Since 2006 Ive recorded Fabienne Shine, Spirits Burning and others and have a vlog called Most Cowbell!!!

  • WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

    Gene Krupa is still my favorite drummer. The idea that I can inspire others to keep playing from childhood into old age keeps me going.

  • WORDS OF WISDOM FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF DRUMMERS

    Everything in life can be reduced to solving problems. Remember that the world does not revolve around you. You revolve around the world.

  • FAVORITE ZILDJIAN CYMBAL/COMBO

    I love, love, love my Sweet Ks. My first Zildjian was an 18" Crash Ride that my father bought for me from the factory in Quincy on a trip to Boston when I was 12. Still love that crash ride. Also my Zildjian square gong is amazing.
