About Me |
|
(BRIEF BIO) Ricky has always been captivated by music since he was a child. At an early age he began taking drum lessons and getting involved in the entertainment business. After once being managed by Bill Ludwig III (Ludwig Drum Co.) he learned a lot and began playing out anywhere and everywhere to get his name out in the music industry. He put together his band Blackout in 2002, which is a strong force in the Midwest music scene. Blackout has built up a strong dedicated fan base and play to packed venues such as Metro and House Of Blues in Chicago, IL. He has done numerous studio recordings, including sessions done at Smart Studios owned by legendary producer Butch Vig of the band Garbage. After gaining a lot of experience through the years with his band in writing, recording, & touring, he wanted to take his drumming to the next level by creating a new movement in the nightclub scene. Ricky brings DJing to a whole new level by combining live drums with house/hip hop music and giving the music a live feel. Ricky has played at some of the biggest nightclubs/convention centers around the world and has had a chance to be a part of the Hot Import Nights tour, which tours worldwide. He currently holds residencies at nightclubs throughout the Midwest including the world famous Crobar nightclub in Chicago, IL. Ricky also plays many hot spots in Los Angeles/Hollywood, CA such as Element Nightclub and club 740. He has also performed for/with some of the industries most well known celebrities including Jimmy Buffet, R. Kelly, Constantine Maroulis of American Idol, playmate DJ Colleen Shannon, DJ Spider, and several times with Tommy Lee/DJ Areo. He has also shared the stage/toured with acts such as The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Queens of the Stone Age, Trapt, Shinedown, Collective Soul, Buckcherry, & Marty Casey & The Lovehammers. Ricky has gained a lot of attention from the music industry, from being featured in many magazines including Modern Drummer Magazine in February 2006. He has also received some endorsements including Orange County Drums, & Sabian cymbals. Ricky is extremely driven and continues to raise the bar for himself whether its taking on new projects or doing session drumming for new ambitious artists. Ricky has crafted his live show into an explosive high energy experience, but yet technical and precise and will leave you wanting more. Check out the clip below for a preview of my DVD. |
