Joe Bergamini
A high-profile drummer in the New York/New Jersey area, Joe Bergamini has developed a reputation as one of the foremost exponents of progressive rock and fusion drumming in the Northeast. A student of such greats as David Garibaldi, Kenny Aronoff, Al Miller, John Riley and Dom Famularo, Joe thrives on playing with energy and expertise in bands including Power Windows: The Ultimate Tribute to Rush; with 4Front, his instrumental fusion group; and Big Radio, a popular New Jersey club band. From progressive double bass drumming with multi-tom fills and odd-time, to pumped up, high-energy jazz-rock explorations and rock/pop performances, he plays them all with precision and passion. Active in various forms of music education for 10 years, Joe teaches drumset technique and performance and is a regular performer of educational clinics in New Jersey public schools. He is a frequent performer at MENC State Conventions and writes and arranges for several school marching bands, including the award winning Hanover Park High School drumline. He is also a leading member of the SABIAN / VIC FIRTH ESP (Educational Seminars in Percussion) Program. Currently promoting his globally distributed debut solo disc, ARRIVAL, while collaborating on several drum books with Dom Famularo, Joe Bergamini is one of the most vital young drummers emerging from today's East Coast scene. A professional with skill, determination, and vision, he is a player who like friend and mentor Dom Famularo is determined to share his knowledge and enthusiasm. He wants to educate and inspire other drummers. "Performing is great," says Joe. "But there is something magical about inspiring younger players. I hope music opens up many new worlds for these aspiring musicians. It sure has for me!"
