   About Sam Henry
I started playing the drums when I was 7 and met Buddy Rich (my main inspiration) when I was 10. I love jazz and played in the stage band in high school and won a few awards at the Reno Jazz Festival...lets just say sometime in the 70's. At 15 I was playing professionally with lots of country and western bands, R & B bands, and you name it. I met Greg Sage when I was just barely out of high school and we formed the Wipers with Dave Koupal in the late 70's. We recorded a couple of EP's and the album "Is This Real?" but I quit in 1980 or so. I played with Fred and Toody Cole for awhile in a pre-Dead Moon band called The Rats and recorded one album called "Intermittent Signals" before joining Chris Newman and Napalm Beach in 1981. Napalm toured all over Europe, recorded too many records to count on my fingers, and morphed into several incarnations (Snowbud and the Flower People, Divining Rods) all lead by Chris. After 23 years with Napalm lets just say THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING COOK'N and here are some of the folks I'm playing with now...

DRUM LESSONS- - I've been giving lessons for over 30 years , and have had some award winning students. For info contact samhenrydrumstudio.com Or myspace.

Morgan Grace - I first heard Morgan opening for Gothic Outhouse and her music knocked me right off my chair. I started working with her on a recording project she was doing with Sean Flora at Rocket Science and that pretty much turned into playing together all the time. our new line up features NEW bass player CJ. WE will be playing a TON of shows soon, So check out the shows caleder. You may have seen us on cable access tv or at MusicFestNW or just getting a donut at Voodoo Donuts (the magic is in the hole ya know)

Michael Dean Dameron,and Thee loyal bastards- I Recorded and helped produce the CD Bad Days Ahead. Little did I know that It all CAME TRUE.. HA ...Chalk up another BASTARD Loyally RIPPING ME OFF

l "All to Know" and "Last Chance" are songs I wrote a long time ago. I'm singing and playing all the instruments except for the guitar solo played by Howard Gee who also engineered the recordings." Little Betty Tribute to Alice Cooper" was Recorded by Howard Gee and myself as a FUN project,It features Howard on guitars and back up vocals, and Me on drums, key orchestrations, and Vocals (damn it's not east tryin to sing like THE GREAT ALICE )It also features Adam Fifield on Bass whoom I've never met (he lives in WALES)"Organ overkill W/drum solo"I recorded this in 2001 . also me playing all the inst's I start all these one person recordings with the drums , then add bass and what ever comes next." Favorite Sin" and " Oh I Want YOU" are from the new Morgan Grace album The Sound Of Something Breaking also recorded by Howard.

Here's just a few of the great albums I've played on -
