Brad Rosser (Drums): 

Growing up in a small town in central Ohio it was clear to everyone at an early age that Brad Rosser would pursue drumming. Starting with lessons in the second grade Brad maintained a relentless practice schedule that paid dividends when performing in every type of band and ensemble imaginable as a youngster. The practicing was so constant that when his parents received compliments that their son was an excellent drummer they responded, “why, can you hear him practice all the way over at your house too.” Fortunately, his parents were very supportive and agreed to drive Brad an hour each way to enlist the help of professional drummer Chad Rager (Deniece Williams, Charles Earland, Roger Williams).

Under the supervision of Chad Rager, a foundation of limb independence was developed as well as a love for Big Band Drumming. While in High school Brad performed in the Kenyon College Jazz Band, Mount Vernon Nazarene College Jazz Band, in addition to his High School Jazz Band at Mount Vernon High where Brad won several outstanding musician awards from the Ashland University Jazz Festival as well as the outstanding musician award from his High School.

After High School Brad moved on to Miami University where he played in the University Steel Drum band under the direction of Dr. Chris Tanner. Dr. Tanner and the Steel Drum Band offered Brad a unique opportunity to explore many different kinds of World Music. To this day Brad continues to perform with his steel drum combo, Island Ed and His Fiery Limbo Revue, based out of Cincinnati . (www.island-ed.com)

  In addition to the steel drum combo Brad performed with Columbus Ohio rock band Fenster. Hailing from Columbus , Ohio , Fenster invigorated audiences across the Midwest with energetic, horn-driven rock. The six-member band, famed for its distinctive sound, combined super smooth vocals, powerful guitar and bass, and a dynamic beat, with the red-hot intensity of its horn section, to create original songs that set the region on fire.  Coupled with a slick stage show, Fenster proved that it was a musical force to be reckoned with until the group split in 2004 to pursue other projects.

After Fenster, Brad teamed up to play with the rock band Introspect. Introspect just recently released an EP titled For All to See and has performed to many large audiences. The single, The Journey recently charted at number 2 on alternative addiction and Introspect plans to release a full length album in the fall.  

In addition to many performances, Brad as a teacher has enjoyed much success and maintains many students who he instructs in everything from snare drum technique and rudiments to drumset technique covering many different styles of music.

Brad is also very proud to endorse and play exclusively Trick Drums and Attack Drumheads.
