To purchase tickets, visit: martyrslive/terry-bozzio Known for his groundbreaking work with artists like Frank Zappa, Missing Persons, U.K., Jeff Beck, and The Brecker Brothers, Terry Bozzio is one of the most innovative drummers in history. Terry was ahead of his time when he began doing double bass fills between his hands and feet in the 1970s and is instrumental in influencing countless drummers to adopt this approach today. He pushed convention further by eliminating his ride cymbal (since 1981) and later adding a gong as a ride source. Terry is also one of the first drummers to stack multiple cymbals together to create a gated white noise type of sound, inspiring drummers like Mike Portnoy to do the same. With Missing Persons 1984 release, Rhyme & Reason, he embarked in a new direction by incorporating a radical electronic kit featuring beaterless bass drum pedals without employing any bass drums. Terry created this kit before the advent of MIDI technology at a time when triggering multiple sound sources from a single pad was extremely difficult. Thanks to his extraordinary solo drum music, Terry single handily has made the word and concept of the ostinato commonplace among drummers today. Rightfully so, Terry Bozzio was voted one of The 50 Greatest Drummers of All Time by the readers of Modern Drummer Magazine.
