about >>> 

 

Robert Rachelli

Playing the drums is not just a hobby, or a way to bring in income to support my family; drumming is the central rhythm in how I live my life, and it has been for nearly 20 years.

Throughout my drumming career I have been in a number of bands, touring primarily with Ventura and Santa Barbara groups. Additionally, I have also toured with Steel Pulse and opened for many well-known national acts.

My musical background experience is rich and varied. I am able to put in a groove or make up a part on-the-fly when I am recording in studio sessions, which is one of the reasons why Ed Kowalczyk (founding member/lead singer of Live) and John Locke (keyboardist for Nazareth and founding member/keyboardist of Spirit) love to record with me.
