 Joe
Bergamini maintains a diverse career as a drumming performer and educator.
Enjoying various styles of playing, he is most well-known for his progressive
rock drumming in the bands Happy the Man and 4Front. As a New Jersey
native who grew up immersed in the New York City music scene, moving
into work on Broadway seemed a natural progression for Joe. After performing
in both the New York and national tour productions of the Billy Joel
musical Movin' Out, he is now working at the hit show Jersey Boys.
For 11 years Joe was the drummer in the popular New York City area
band Power Windows, and has performed and recorded with many other
artists as a sideman.
Recognized internationally as an educator, Joe has given hundreds
of drum clinics in schools, retail stores, and conventions over the
past 15 years. He has appeared at the Ultimate Drummers Weekend (Melbourne,
Australia), and The Cape Breton Drum Festival (Nova Scotia, Canada).
He also maintains a busy private teaching schedule at his studio in
New Jersey.
Joe's interest in writing and education has led to him becoming very
active
in the music publishing world. He is the Percussion Editor for Carl
Fischer
Publications, and a contributing writer for Modern Drummer magazine.
An
active author, Joe has won three Modern Drummer Readers Poll awards
for his
drum books. He is the author of Turn It Up & Lay It Down, MD
Classic Tracks, It's Your Move (with Dom Famularo), Drum Techniques
of Led Zeppelin, Operation: Rockenfield - The Drumming of Queensryche, and
Drumming Out Of The Shadows - The Drumming of Jason Bittner and Shadows
Fall.
