   About Kelly Paletta
Currently I play with some great singers, songwriters and musicians in the Seattle area. I have recently completed Andrea Wittgens' solo debut CD, "Alibi." Andrea is a phenomenal talent and we were lucky enough to have Bob Power (Citizen Cope, The Roots et al) producing us.

I also perform from time to time with The Ramp, Lisa Mills, Alicia Healey, Jimm McIver, Summer Mayne, The Higgins, Val D'Alessio and Amy Roberts. In the past I have played with Mudbug, Island Time Steel Band, Raccous, The Herbivores, Andy Narell, Rob McConnell, Bobby Shew, Abel and Allen Reggae Review and more.

In 2004-2005 I contributed a monthly column to Modern Drummer magazine entitled "Reading Basics." More MD articles are currently in the works.

In addition to playing and writing about drums, I am also a student of the instrument and have studied with Dan Tomlinson, Gary Cook, Peter Erskine, Jeff Hamilton, Alex Acuna, George Marsh, Steve Houghton, Ed Soph and Zorro.

 I'm proud to give you "Heavy In The Beats Vol. 1 - A Different Drum", the first installment in my FREE mixtape series dedicated to drums and percussion. "Volume 1" focuses on the avant garde side of the instrument, and features pieces from Billy Martin (of Medeski Martin & Wood), myself, and others!

Ha ha! Yea man! Bear Gryls is his nemesis. He was pissed at Discovery Channel for putting a similar show up against him. I couldnt believe I was rolling down McDowell between the Papago mountains with Les Stroud. I speeded past a cop on 64th St and Survivorman said, "We better put our seat belts on"! Too bizzare to be true really.
Hello by the way! Steve

I know it seems like it has been forever since we did a show in Seattle but heres your chance to catch us. We play from 930pm-12am this Friday night 12/5 at Tost in Seattle. It has been a busy fall with touring and recording and we have some wild new material that we cant wait to share with our hometown peeps! Also on the horizon is New Years eve at Moxie in Queen Anne. We thank you again for your support and look forward to seeing you at the show.

Kool Kelly. My buddie and mentor Jeff Simmons, (from Sea-Town) was playing bass in the Mothers for awhile. I met Zappa on 2 occasions. Aynsely Dunbar was the drummer when Simmons was in the band. Awesome drummer....

Dang Kelly....That is one wicked cool Almost Famous drum solo, (I admit I don't know who the original version was by). Your creativity is manifest not only in your rhythmical expertise but also in what you do with a bunch of stuff out of the kitchen cupboard! The only way to improve it would be to have some bass lines over the top..... ;-)
