About Me

Rich was surrounded by many elite musicians his whole life. His father, John, who was a superior Tuba and Stand Up String Bass Player, and his brother as an accomplished professional trumpeter. Rich was introduced into true musicianship at 5 years old and has been getting paid to perform since 1958. He is a Vic Firth Drum Educator and a certified member of the Teacher Integration Program. He is also the Founder/Director of Rich's Drum System, a business founded in 2009, and publisher of ,"Rich's Drum System for Young Children," in 2011.

 Rich is phenomenally proficient in all styles of music: Dixieland, Big Band Jazz, Blues, Rock, Contemporary Christian, Gospel, Swing, etc. He has had the pleasure of meeting and befriending professional drummer, Keith Thibideaux (played "Little Ricky" in the "I Love Lucy" show of the 1950's)  in 2007. Keith sang Rich's praises when he heard him play for fun. And Rich sang Keith's praise as well!
