Tom is a recent addition to Club Phred.  Originally from the Philadelphia area, Tom started playing the drums at age 11, playing in rock bands through high school and college, including Shotgun, Aberation, and Arcus. 

After moving to the Washington DC area, Tom played in a number of blues, rock, and R&B bands, most notably The Phantoms, Problem Child, Suede Tornado, Blind Date, and with recording artist Dave Sharp.  Since moving to Delaware, Tom's been drumming for singer songwriter Tony Travalini.

Tom is a versatile drummer who loves playing the drums--and enjoys playing now just as much as when he was a teenager.  He's been smiling a lot since joining Club Phred.

Tom's major influences are drummers Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix), David Garibaldi (Tower of Power), and Steve Ferrone (AWB.)
