Chad Wackerman, Drums

One of the most skilled drummers in all of rock and modern jazz is Chad Wackerman. He began his career playing with trombonist Bill Watrous, before landing a spot with Frank Zappa, that quickly placed Wackerman among the elite of modern drummers. Wackerman toured the world with Zappa, and appeared on countless albums, including such acclaimed latter day releases as 1981's You Are What You Is, 1986's Jazz from Hell, 1988's Broadway the Hard Way, plus such multi-volume releases as the London Symphony Recordings and You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore.

Additionally, Wackerman has recorded a series of albums with guitarist Allan Holdsworth, plus session work with such varied artists as Steve Vai, Andy Summers, Men At Work, Ed Mann, Albert Lee, Colin Hay, Dweezil Zappa, Tom Grant, and even Barbra Streisand. But Wackerman has also toured the world accompanying a myriad of artists including James Taylor.
