   About Bobby Jarzombek

May 5, 2009 - RIOT.... RIPPER.... THOMSEN.... FATES & Tales of Knighthood!



Hey everyone!

It's been a while since I posted anything new. Which doesn't mean I haven't kept busy - far from it. I'm finally settled in back here in Texas and doing live work as well as studio sessions and a bit of teaching at the moment.

My main focus over these past few weeks has been RIOT, the legendary NYC metal band I was a member of between 1987 and 1999. We have put the 'Thundersteel' line-up back together and just had a very productive initial writing session. Guitarists Mark Reale and Mike Flyntz came down from New York to join Don Van Stavern and myself after we'd been writing separately and sending files back and forth. But, nothing beats being in a room together and bouncing ideas off of each other. The chemistry between us was back in an instant and everybody is stoked about what we've come up with so far. We should have some thundering steel for you all later in the year. Up next we'll be hitting the road for two high profile European summer festival appearances. We'll be at Sweden Rock on June 6 with Heaven & Hell, Journey, Dream Theater, and Europe, among others, and then fly out to Zaragoza, Spain for Metalway where we are booked on June 20 alongside Children of Bodom, WASP, Blind Guardian and native sons, Baron Rojo. We'll be warming up locally with a June 2 show at the Scout Bar here in San Antonio. Tickets for that one go on sale on May 8. Check the Riot MySpace for details.

I'm also guesting on two upcoming releases that will hit stores within days of each other. Firstly, there is my former Iced Earth band mate TIM OWENS' solo album, 'Play My Game', which has a May 19 US/Canada street date via SPV/Steamhammer. I'm playing on a song titled 'The Light', which was the first thing I recorded in San Antonio after moving back from L.A.. Bob Kulick, who also co-wrote the song with Tim, is on guitar and the amazing Tony Franklin is on bass. Get the full scoop at TimRipperOwens.com.

The other new album I'm on - this one a lot more extensively - is THOMSEN's 'Lets Get Ruthless', a German-English (mostly....) all-star project of sorts. I did these tracks in Germany over a year ago after I was hit up by René Thomsen about playing on it. René is well known behind the scenes through his firm BRS (Backline Rental Service) who supply gear to a who's who in rock and metal for tours and major events such as the Echo Awards (German Grammys). René is also a talented musician and he's assembled quite a cast of characters for his album, including Herman Frank and Stefan Schwarzmann, both formerly with Accept, Neil Murray (Whitesnake), Nibbs Carter (Saxon), and Jan S. Eckert (Masterplan). If ballsy Teutonic metal floats your boat then 'Let's Get Ruthless' should be right up your alley. The album is out May 22 on BRS Records - check the Thomsen MySpace for music and info.

Already out on Wave Master Entertainment in Japan is the 'Sonic And The Black Knight - Tales of Knighthood' OST (from the popular 'Sonic the Hedgehog' Sega video game series) for which I did several tracks at my studio here in SA. I'm on 'With Me' (with Marty Friedman on lead guitar & Emma and Tinna from All Ends on vocals) and 'Through the Fire' (vocals by Johnny Gioeli of Hardline) as well as two other, shorter pieces, 'To the Rescue.... A Knight's Law'and 'Sir Percival....The Knight of the Grail.' You can hear both vocal cuts at THIS location. Thanks to Jun Senoue for thinking of me - let's do it again sometime! Actually, I'm taking on more studio session work now that I have my pro-tools set up all dialed in; interested professional parties can contact me at bobby@bobbyjarzombek.com.

Finally, as some of you may have heard already, I'll be getting together with the FATES WARNING guys this fall once again. We are confirmed to headline the second day, Saturday, September 12, at ProgPower in Atlanta, GA. The other bands on the bill are Brainstorm, Orphaned Land, Circus Maximus and our friends from Pagan's Mind, who toured with us in Europe last fall. According to Jim (Matheos), we'll also doing some warmup shows but nothing is confirmed yet. Keep checking FatesWarning.com for updates.

______________BIOGRAPHY______________

"He's like an illusionist on the drum kit. It's effortless and entertaining, and he's just brilliant", is how Judas Priest legend Rob Halford once described his first visual encounter with San Antonio, TX born and raised percussionist BOBBY JARZOMBEK. It was a video tape submitted in the fall of 1999 that caught the eye of the man with the Golden Scream whose new project was deep into pre-production at the time but still lacked that last vital link. A few weeks later Bobby found himself at a Los Angeles, CA recording studio laying down drum tracks for what would become the Metal God's triumphant Roy Z produced return to former glory with 'Resurrection.'

Since making his recording debut with hometown boys JUGGERNAUT on the aptly titled 'Baptism Under Fire' in 1986, Bobby has played on over 2 dozen albums and toured much of the world many times over, from Europe to Australia and South America to Japan and even China. Bobby's lengthy resume includes NYC metal institution RIOT, 'anything goes' prog madmen SPASTIC INK with his brother Ron Jarzombek on guitar, touring and recording with PAIN MUSEUM, ICED EARTH and its studio off-shoot DEMONS & WIZARDS, as well as vocalists ROB ROCK, JOHN WEST, and SEBASTIAN BACH, with whom Bobby spent much of 2006 on the road opening up for the new Guns 'N Roses on an extended trans-Atlantic festival and arena run.

Other notable highlights include a massive arena tour with HALFORD alongside UK metal icons Iron Maiden and Queensryche in 2000, which included a show at New York's hallowed Madison Square Garden, jamming with Bruce Dickinson and Geoff Tate in London and Rudolf Schenker in Hanover, as well as delivering the goods in front of 250,000 crazed fans at Rock In Rio III in Brazil, documented on the 'Live Insurrection' double CD and the upcoming 'Live In Rio' DVD. Bobby was also voted 'No.1 Drummer 2000' by the readers of Japanese heavy metal bible Burrn! in recognition of his work on 'Resurrection.'

Bobby also caught the ears of America's premier drum publication, Modern Drummer, who called HALFORD's blazing sophomore release, 'Crucible', "a stunning slab of metal, and Bobby Jarzombek's drumming is a prime reason. On propulsive scorchers like 'Betrayal' (which begins with a dazzling mini-solo), 'Heretic' and 'Handing Out Bullets', the drummer shows astonishing power and precision. The Metal God knows how to pick 'em." SPASTIC INK's 'Ink Compatible' elicited a similar rave from Drum! Magazine: "Bobby Jarzombek is a monster to pull off this kind of dexterous drumming. He wades through the breathtaking linear patterns and riffs of 'Just A Little Bit', and the ridiculous 11/16 grooving and instrumental call-and-answers of 'Multi-Masking'."

Maybe most near and dear to Bobby's heart is 'Performance & Technique', his first ever drum instructional video, put together in 2003 over the span of several months in San Antonio and his adopted home, Los Angeles. 'P&T' spotlights Bobby's unique approach to drumming and features two free-form solos, footage of a RIOT-era drum solo performed live in Japan, and full-length performances of the Latin-flavored 'So It Ain't!' as well as 'Peppered Cancer' and 'School', two new songs co-written and recorded with Ron Jarzombek on guitar. An expanded DVD version with additional footage offering a behind-the-scenes look into other related areas, including 'Selecting Cymbals at Paiste', 'In the Studio', 'Soundchecking the Drumset', and a 'Photo Gallery', was released in early 2005 via Warner Bros. Publications and re-issued by Alfred Publishing in 2006. The same year also saw Bobby make his Hollywood movie debut providing several Dave Sardy (Slayer, Helmet) produced drum tracks for the Oscar-nominated animated feature, 'Monster House.' Bobby was also enlisted by famed producer Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens Of The Stone Age) to record drums and cymbals for sample library project, 'Platinum Samples Joe Barresi Evil Drums for BFD', released in 2007.

Coming full circle, Bobby became a member of RIOT once again when mainman Mark Reale announced the reunion of the vaunted 'Thundersteel' line-up; a new studio album is currently in the works and set for a 2010 release. Bobby also continues his association with highly acclaimed progressive metal outfit, FATES WARNING, and has lent his services to a number of other projects, most recently cutting several tracks for 'Sonic And The Black Knight - Tales of Knighthood', the latest soundtrack installment for the hugely successful 'Sonic the Hedgehog' Sega video game series.
