I love all types of music and musicians but here are a few to give you an idea.
Foo Fighters, Bob Marley, Dr Dre, Sublime, Audio Slave, Sound Garden, Incubus, Alanis, Steely Dan, Prince, Soul Coughing, Earth Wind and Fire, Seal, Meshell N'degeocello, Eminem, Miles, Madona, Led Zepplin, Switch Foot, Steve Wonder, Sting, Lenny Kravitz, All Motown Artists, The Funk Brothers, etc.
I was born in Meriden, CT where I graduated from Maloney High School. After high school I attended The Drummers Collective in NYC, Bridgeport University, CT and finally Berklee College of Music in MA. After spending much time touring the east coast I decided to make the move to Los Angeles, CA. I love this place!
Since I moved to LA, I have tour with artists such as Latin Rock Legends MALO (George Santana), Carmen Rasmusen (American Idol Finalist), Sophie B. Hawkins (Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover, As I Lay Me Down To Sleep), Edgar Winter (Free Ride, Frankenstein), EvenRude (Vilified, Tony Hawk Pro Skater), Bushwalla, etc. I've also played and recorded with Jason Mraz, Robby Krieger from the Doors, and several international and local bands.
Please check out my website www.ricrocc.com for more info.
Recently, I opened a live drum tracking room with killer sounds. Please fee free to forward my info to anyone looking for live drum tracks.
Thanks for the support and as Edgar Winter says, "KEEP ON ROCKIN"!
Ciao',

Thanks to all my former music students for supporting the cause!

I did not get an equipment sponsor for Man Caves to do Snoop Dogg's pad so I never went out to L.A. this week. I'm hoping to get the sponsor locked in during the next few days so I can make it out there for K-Fed's Man Cave in a couple of months. Hope your busy week went well.
