Kenny Aronoff, born 1953, grew up in a big country farm house in a small town in the hills of western Massachusetts. He studied one year at the university of Massachusetts and four years at Indiana University School of Music in Bloomington, Indiana. In 1980 he joined the John Mellencamp band, recording 10 albums and toured with him for over a 17-year period. Today, Kenny is one of the most influential and in demand drummers and percussionists in the world with numerous awards, also thanks to his superior work ethic. Rolling Stone Magazine lists him among the "100 Greatest Drummers of All Time".

Rock vibes

Kenny is featured on countless albums by artists like The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Diamond, Bruno Mars and Eric Clapton. His fills sound very authentic, because there is a huge chance he is the drummer of the original recording (with more than 1300 that earned Gold, Platinum or Diamond). He sometimes lets some Texas rock vibes shine through, featuring a powerful back beat and a lot of punch. Kenny is a very self-confident drummer who will give a strong opinion how a drum track should be and very rightfully so.
